error message

I often get the following error when opening a file in VirtualDub:

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 3303ms of skew from the video stream. If this is unacceptable, decompress the *entire* audio stream to an uncompressed WAV file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate: 181.8 += 19.4 kbps)

Can anyone tell me what this means? And what I should do? I have found with files like this I get audio problems after converting them to mpgs with TMPGE. Please help.
:devil:

I think the message is clear...

1. Save the AVI audio as a big WAV file with the "save WAV" function from VirtualDub
2. Encode your movie with TMPGEnc using this WAV as the ausio source and not the original AVI.

Evereything's explained.

I have tried that... it results in bad audio skewing... I am trying a solution which was posted by another person in a different forum. Thanks for the suggestion.
