Improper VBR audio encoding

[HeavnlyStr]

I want to make a vcd, but my avi is too long, so what I want to do is split it. When I load my file in virtualdub... I recieve this message...
VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source AVI file and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during processing for better compatibility. This may introduce up to 31958 ms of skew from the view stream. If this is unaccebtable, decompress the *entire* audio stream to an uncompressed WAV file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder.
Not only do I not know what that means, but I went ahead and clicked ok. When I was done and ready to check my two new avi files, I noticed the audio and video was out of sync. I tried to edit it with virtualdub, I couldn't because my a[no change(current)] and b(change so video and audio durations match) were the same numbers... which when I minus them=0. I my guess is that the VBR virtualdub told me about is what is causing it to be like that...
What does all of that mean??? How do I fix this problem?

Sorry, I see that someone else has the same problem as me and they don't have any responses yet either. Although, I have no idea what that message means...

It means the audio stream is just plain messed up. If your goal is to convert it to vcd then its really simple to fix. When virtualdub gives you that error select no. Now in the audio tab select full processing mode. Now click file/save wav. This will decompress the audio to wav. Don't worry it doesnt take long at all.

Now to encode to vcd simply use this new wav file as your audio source and the original divx file (avi) as the video source.

Thanks, I will try this now.

Sorry, I only used nero to burn vcd's before and have no idea how to do it with two seperate files... I rip with nero 5590 directly from avi file...please help

Before you burn with Nero, open VirtualDub, open your avi file (again, press no in the vbr message), select video | direct stream out, audio | wav audio and then select your WAV file.
now go to file | save as avi
this will save you a new avi file with the same video output and the sync audio.

now you can go to Nero and burn the new file..
Hope this helped
