Hey guys. I just recently downloaded Final Fantasy VII Advent Children (a japanese movie) and I've been trying to burn it along with a seperate fan made .sub onto dvd using virtual dub. I suppose I am trying to "hard code" the subtitles and make them stay permently on the movie file without the sub file needing to be present so that I can burn it onto dvd. The problem is that every time I load the video file into virtual dub in the first place, I keep getting a message saying

"virtuldub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the sourse AVI file and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during processing for better compatibility. This may introduce up to 23721 ms of skew from the video stream. If this is un acceptable, decompress the *entire* audio stream to an uncompressed WAV and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate: 125.7 16.4 kbps)"

Now, I've tried burning and applying the subtitles while ignoring the message. It comes up fine but the audio is completely off. I'd say by about 15 seconds.

Then I tried following instructions to take the audio, turn it to wav as told, turn the avi's sound off, then put it all back together. Which seemingly works fine. Except for the fact that the new file made is something like 1300 mb. Which is nearly double the size of the original movie, that being only 700 mb.

So, I guess my question is.. can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or an exact and better way to synch up sound in Virtual dub while keeping the size as close to the original as possible?
Heck. Even suggestions and instructions on what to with another program would be great. I just really would like to combine these subtitles onto the avi and burn the cursed thing onto dvd.

I really hope you guys can help me out. I've looked everywhere else. Thanks so much in advance!

The file size doesn't matter.
Once you've hard coded the subs, you'll have to encode the whole thing to mpeg-2 for DVD anyhow, and the running time of the video, times the final mpeg-2 bitrate, will determine the final file size you author and burn.
When you're saving the AVI in VirtualDub, it's going to grow, unless you select Video, Compression, and choose a codec to keep it small.
This can result in a severe loss of quality.
Decompressed .wav audio is also much larger than the previously encoded VBR mp3. This will increase filesize as well.

Black holes are where God divided by zero...
Cheers, Jim
