VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio Encoding

[boopat]

When loading an avi to trim i sometimes get

"VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio Encoding in the source AVI and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during processing for better compabability. This may introdece 37294 ms of skew from the video stream. If this is unacceptable, decompess the *entire* audio stream to an uncompress with a constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate:136.8 [(+-)(these are on top of one and other)] 24.0 kbps)"

All i want to do is trim the credits off of a movie that the file is too big to fit on a 700MB CD.

Is there a simple way around this or another program i can do this in. Tried AVIChop but that program just makes a mess.



havaham sugested
"Use an earlier version of Virtualdub (1.3.x) and this message goes away..."

But using an earlier version where i did not get the above message was still encoded with audio and video out of sync.


As i said all i want to do is trim the credits off of a movie that the file is too big to fit on a 700MB CD.

Plase help

Thanks

Load AVI (File1.AVI), Set video to Streaming, set audio to full processing, select SAVE AS, and save a new file (File2.AVI).

Any attempts to edit the file without doing this will cause the audio to go out of sync.

Reload File2.AVI and do whaver you want...

Ok, just done a test...

Jeepers Creepers. AVI says "Nandub v1.0rc2"
640 x 352, 24 Bits, 130477 Frames, 23.976 Frames/Sec, 131 KB/Sec, DIVXMPG4 V3

If loaded into Vdub it says;
VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source AVI file and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values....

At this moment, if you try to load the AVI into TMPGEnc and convert, it produces a mpeg with no audio.

If you re-save the AVI you get this;
640 x 352, 24 Bits, 130477 Frames, 23.976 Frames/Sec, 293 KB/Sec, DIVXMPG4 V3

But now TMPGENce will encode the audio as well

But that way it duplicates the size of the movie. I've got a 700MB avi and after that I got a 1.6 GB.

Does it matter what size the AVI is ?

If your going to convert it to VCD mpeg with TMPGEnc anyway...

The object is to fix the AVI, if necessary you can re-encode with another codec if you want to keep the AVI

[boopat]

i don't want to convert the file or re-encode it. i just want to trim off afew MB's so i can burn it to a disc

[KingJohn]

It only takes a minuet or so, no re-encode. Then you can edit the new AVI without any problems.
