Audio & video length don't match???

[loughary]

OK, hopefully I can explain this correctly, I have some TV rips (Spongebob)of a show that I acquired for my son that are in divx format. Normally not a problem, but when I input them into TMPGEnc it displays that the Video is 11 minutes long but it shows the audio as 34 minutes long. Now the problem is that TMPGenc thinks the file is 34 minutes long so when I try to combine 8 or so episodes to convert to DVD it adjusts the bit-rate real low because it thinks it's 272 minutes of video. If I watch the videos in a media player on my PC it is only 11 minutes long and plays fine. Is there a way to change what the .avi file is reporting for the audio ??

I tried the video clips in DivxtoDVD and it basically locks up, after you push the button to convert it just does nothing. I'm assuming that's because if I try to combine 8 episodes it thinks it's about 5 hours of video that I'm trying to put on disk.

Search for TMPG problems with VBR mp3 audio.

Thanks for the reply, you are correct it is a VBR mp3 audio TMPGEnc problem.

Would I have this problem if I used a different video encoder such as CCE or Mainconcept ??

De-mux the Audio with VirtualDub Saving as .WAV. and use that .WAV when you encode.
