Hey all, I just want to note ive had similar problems too. I have tried this so far though (to no avail):

Please note I'm a complete newbie, and I might be choosing the settings completely wrong

Plain VDub (ignoring the message):
This method so far seems (for me) to produce an almost acceptable WAV output. In that it goes in and out of sync, but not too badly.

VDub Mp3:
Although this tool didn't complain about VBR, the output wav was atrociously out of sync with my avi. Even more so then ordinary VDub. Unlike VDub however, the audio didn't even re-sync later in the video!

Nandub & VDub Mod:
These tools seemed to produce the same wav output as ordinary VDub.

MusicMatch 10:
I have gone out and purchased MusicMatch 10, and tried the file conversion method mentioned. So far the WAV audio output is exactly the same time length as that in the AVI. Though I'm not sure if it has just done what plain VDub would have done anyway (rewrite the audio headers with standard CBR) so i am unsure about this method.

Analogue Recording / [Not Ripping] ?
I am wondering, if its not just possible to do it the 'ol fashion way'. Hit play on the software divx player on my PC [Media Player], and literally record the audio output as it comes using a software audio capture method. Would that work and be in sync perfectly with the video when i encode it using the same fps on mpeg output ?

What can i do ?
Can someone assure me which is the best possible way (analogue, digital, or what else) to perfectly get this dam VBR audio into CBR audio for TMPEG to encode with ? I have unsuccessfully trial and error'd everything good old Google good throw up on the related subject.
