help converting LOTR

[AirFlite40]

i got a dvd rip from a friend of LOTR in DiVX. the frame size is 640x272 and frame rate is 23.976 fps. I can play this file with Win Media player fine, but when i open it with Virtual dub i get this error first: "VirtualDub has detected an improrper 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 59633 ms of skew form the video stream. If This is unacceptable, decompress the *entire* audio stream to an uncompressed WAV file and recompress wiith a constant bitrate enconder. (bitrate: 139.8+-33.2 kbps)" I dont know what that means , when I try to play the file with virtualdub i get audio but no picture. when I try to convert the file with TMPG-Enc, i get no picture, just a black screen and no audio. Please help!!!! I downloaded the DiVX 5 and Mpeg 2 codecs, no change.

You need to save the audio as a .wav file in Virtualdub. Then open Tmpg-enc and use the original file as your video source and the wav file as your audio. Try converting a few seconds of film to check the audio is in sync. If it isn't you need to double-click on the 'source range' option in tmpg-enc to 'move' the audio and correct the sync problem. This takes some trial and error - just convert a few seconds again then see if you are happy with it. Sorry if these instructions are a little vague but I'm not in front of my home pc.
