If you could give more details about your divx (frame rate, audio etc...)
may be you ecoded it with a wrong frame rate, or the audio was at 48khz instead of 41khz etc...

i encode it as 41mhz and as a ntsc film everything was alright i followed the faq all the way but it was out of synch after 30 mins or so.

!?41 mhz !? well ! the maximum i know for the sound is 48khz... (more will be useless anyway)

If the video source fps is 29,970 load VideoCD (NTSC).mcf
If the video source fps is 23,970 load VideoCD (NTSCFilm).mcf
If the video source fps is 25,000 load VideoCD (PAL).mcf

so ... check your divx frame rate....
and:

1. Start Virtualdub. Open your video File->Open video file.(if you get any warnings just ignore them because you won't edit the video just extract the audio)
Select File->File Information and note the fps as the video source fps because you will need it later.

there's also the audio sampling rate written...
if it's 48000Hz, you'll have to convert it in 41000Hz

and if everything is ok... well, I don't know...
