Encoding Xvid with MP3 VBR audio to DVD

Hi,

I have an Xvid file that uses LAME VBR MP3 audio and it doesn't encode to
DVD properly. I am using Tmpgenc to encode the video - and this works fine,
but the audio doesn't encode (it's silent).

To get round this I tried using NanDub (a modification of VirtualDub) to
extract the audio as a uncompressed WAV then encode this WAV into MP2
format - but whilst this allows me to hear the audio, it becomes more and
more out of synch with the video as the MPEG plays.

How do I encode an Xvid with VBR MP3 to DVD format with audio that is
synched properly with the video?

TIA.

You might be better served to use CBR rather than VBR.

Try VSO's DivxToDVD. The free beta was recently still available on their
site, the supported program is now fee-based.

First: it's way faster than TMPGEnc. Second: the beta has some bugs - the
main one being a time-base correction error which causes the program to LOOP
thru the source material. The error is easily fixed, but you have to be
there ;-0)

In the event that the VIDEO_TS produced is larger than a DVD5 disc, use DVD
Shrink to either reduce the files or split them.

Use AutoGK 2.16b to re-encode the Xvid file to DivX or if you want to keep
Xvid select Xvid in the options. In the hidden menu (control f9 you can
select force mp3 if you wish).
