I'm using virtualdub in wine (also tried in Windows XP and got the same results) as I've not found any similar functionality in linux apps yet. Could someone suggest one, else maybe it's time to learn GTK...

Anyway there seems to be issues loading mplayer(mencoder) libavcodec divx4 + libmp3lame mp3(abr) audio files?

First I normally use mp3lame's AverageBitRate codec, and VirtualDub gives an error/warning "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 intruduce up to 15263 ms of skew from the video stream. If this is unacceptable..." "... bitrate encoder. (bitrate: 206.0 +/- 42.6 kbps)

Then it also says "AVI: Truncated or invalid MP3 audio format detected (28 bytes, should be 30). Attempting to fix."

At this point, I can edit the frames fine and it seems to work, I can cut out sections too, looks good.
However, when I save the file (using directcopy for both audio and video) it generates files that video appears not to be cut, and audio is chopped up but generally sounds like I've cut out the correct portion. Definately a huge sync problem at where I cut.

but it seems ConstantBitRate mp3lame files also has issues, It no longer gives the first error, but the second error is also returned, and the same issue with the video uncut and audio cut...

Lots of issues invovled here, but has anyone tried using VirtualDub with libavcodec/libmp3lame files before?

Edit: Same problems under Windows XP, thus ruled out Wine as the problem...
