Divx problem- tmpg thinks file is twice as large

Hello, I have a divx .avi movie, 717mb, which is 1:21:14 long. When I open tmpgenc and load the file, it says that the movie is 3:14:10 long, which is over twice the length. I encoded this video anyways, and I got the original 1:21:14, and then 2 hours of black screen. The problem was that there was no audio.
So I tried to extract the wav file from virtuadub, but got an error message that said "cannot write [file name].avi, the parameter is incorrect" when i tried to save the wave file. So I instead extracted the wav file with AVI2WAV which resulted in a 226mb wav file.
From there I went back to tmpgenc, which still recognizes the movie WAY too long, and tried to encode the movie with the wav file. When it is encoded, the 1:21:14 video looks great, but there is only 0:22:10 of audio (plus there is still that 2 hours of blank screen).
Does anybody know what to do? I know I have a bunch of problems here, but I could use some help. Thanks.

ps. when i load virtuadub it says there is an error that says there is an error in the VBR audio encoding, blah blah which will result in 19794 of skew from the video stream. whats the deal with that?

This should help:

"If TMPGEnc says that the video time / runtime is way too long
TMPGEnc keeps encoding after the end of video with only a black screen
Try change the directshow reader priority, in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 1 or 2 or to the top of plugin-list and reopen the video. If that doesn't help you can always use the source range to select exact what to encode, under Settings->Advanced in TMPGEnc. "

Yeah I did that and got it to work, but there was still no audio.
So i extracted the wave stream from virutaldubmod and just used that in the audio box. I read in a tutorial somewhere that you're not supposed to use the wave and video seperately, rather save the whole AVI file with wave sound. But VirtualDub will not let me save the file, it says "incorrect parameter" everytime i go to save it.

I actually encoded and burned the SVCD using just the wave audio, and it turned out in sync and plays fine on standalones. Should I keep doing this? Or will i usually get out of sync movies?

Get FFSHOW from here -- free DirectShow filter for watching DivX movies, faster than original DivX codec!
