Okay, if you download the latest CDex from this site, install it and then open the program it takes you to the main window.
What you want to do is, convert the vbr mp3 file to wav, and then the wav file back to cbr mp3.
To do this you first need to setup cdex to know what sort of mp3's you want to create. To do this press F4(or "Options....Settings". This brings up the settings window, where on the encoder tab you can configure what sort of MP3's you want to create. Once you've done all the configuring, click okay.
Now you need to conver the vbr mp3 to a wav. To do this press F12 (Or Convert.....Convert Compressed audio file(s) to Wav File(s)"). This will bring up another window where you need to press the "..." button to navigate to the folder where your source vbr mp3 is. Once selected click "OK" to return to your other window, where you should see your vbr file, select it, and click "Convert". This will then convert create a wav file in the "My Documents\MP3" folder.
Once converted, press F11 (or "Convert........Convert WAV file(s) to Compressed Audio File(s)"). THis will bring up a similar window where you need to select the wav file you just created to now convert it to the constant bit rate file you want.
Once you've done that, the constant bit rate file should be saved in the same folder ("My Documents\MP3").
However if your just planning on making a VCD, you don't need to re-encode it back to a cbr mp3, just convert it to a WAV and then use the wav file as your audio source when you encode your VCD, this means less work for you, and also less quality loss.
