Audio is not on time with video, says Improper VBR audio..

[mr_coffee]

Hello everyone. Virtual Dub explained to me whats wrong with all the .avi files i have, i have a total of 11 .avi's, they go int a series. Each is 20 mins long and a total of 1.85 gigs with all of them together. It tells me:
Virtual dub has dected an imporer VBR audio encoding in the source AVI file and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during processing for better compatiblity. This may introudce up to 7193 ms of kew from the video stream. If this is unacceptable, decompress the *entrie* audio stream to an uncompressed WAV file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate: 132.7 +/- 19.2 kbps). THe problem is, I have no idea what tools I need to do this nor the directions on how to do it. Any help would be great!! THank you!

Basically you just do what VD suggests, you save out the audio as a WAV and use that for encoding. Use full processing for the audio when you do this. You don't have to do anything with the video at this point. I am assuming you want to encode these to MPEG?

Here's one guide:

If I plan to put them into a DVD, I encode the WAV as AC3 with a program like ffmpeggui and put that audio into my authoring program, along with the MPEG-2 video. Or if you are using TMPGEnc encoder, just select the WAV as the audio input, along with the AVI video when you encode and TMPGEnc encoder will convert the WAV to MPEG-1 Layer2 audio.

BTW, you will run into the MP3 VBR audio fairly often with Xvids and Divx files. AC3 can also cause problems if not handled properly with those formats when you convert to MPEG. Once you do it a couple of times, it's very easy. If you don't do it, you will have sync problems when you convert to MPEG.

BTW2: This belongs in the Newbie Conversion forum, it's not DVD to S(VCD), AVI. Moving you.

Hey thanks alot man! But i ran into a problem. I extracted the .wav file fine and I saved it, as the tutorial said. I do plan on burning all these to a DVD so i can watch them on my DVD player afterwards. After extracting the .wav file I then used TMPGEnc to encode the .avi video file and the .wav file and it created a .mcf file and a VTS_01_1.VOB file. I tried to open the .VOB file which is only 2 megs big with NERO player and it says: DVD-Video Plug-in required. Due to patent license restrictions, MPEG-2 Encoding/decoding/playback is not avaiable. This feature can be added by installing DVD-Video Plug-in. So i opend it with VLC and no video is displayed but i hear about 10 seconds of the intro song to American Dad. Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong? I just used all the defaults when encoding with TMPGEnc Plus. It took 19:35 mins, so it had to encode the whole video. After it was done, under stream type i clicked System (VIdeo + audio) then clicked save. It says its saving it as DVD NTSC (MPEG-2 720x480 23.976fps CBR 8000kbps, Layer-2 48000Hz 384kbps).
ANy help would be awesome! thanks again!

Note: I have the following software I can use to make this work:

• TMPGEnc-DVD Author
  TMPGEnc-Plus
  TMPGEnc-DVD Source Creator
  TMPGEnc-XPress
  TMPGEnc-Sound Plug-in AC-3
