Any way to force TMPGEnc XPress 3.0 to use Lame mp3 codec?

I've been converting some .wmv files to divx and if I use the mp3 encoder that is native? to TMPGEnc Xpress I sometimes have sync problems (sync is OK at beginning of clip but after about 10 minutes the sound preceeds the video by about a second -- in other words the sound shrinks compared to the video). When I use the River Past Video Cleaner to do the conversion I don't have this problem. But Video Cleaner recommends that one use the lame encoder which it allows. So, my thinking is that if I use the lame encoder with TMPGEnc Xpress I might get a better result with that software. However, there doesn't seem to be any way to add audio codecs to TMPGEnc's bag of tricks. Am I missing something?

You can certainly do it with the older TMPGEnc Plus and TMPGEnc Free, not that that helps you much ...

Right ... which is why I'm looking for the secret portal in Xpress 3. Maybe now that you need to buy a separate proggy for each function -- there's even one for being able to encode ac3 -- they'll be coming out with a secret encoder ring proggy.
