Horrible Audio Errors

I recently downloaded Disney's Robin Hood.

It works flawlessly up to about 2/3rds way though where it dies with a "the file format is invalid" error in windows media player.

I can skip past that point, but the audio is delayed about 10 minutes from then to the end.

When skipping to near the end of the video, further past where's there is the horrible audio skew, the video goes incredibly slowly with no audio and is effectivly useless.

NEXT lot of problems.

When I open the file in virtual dub, immediatly it tells me

QUOTE

VBR audio stream detected

Virtual Dub has encountered an improper VBR audio encoding in the source avi file and will rewrite the audio header with standerd CBR values during processing for better compatibility. This may introduce up to 1634541 ms of skew from the video stream. If this is unacceptable, decompress the *entire* audio stream to an uncompressed wav file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate: 294.7 +- 40401.8 kbps)"


Anyhow that didn't mean -much- to me, other than to tell me "beware, screw with the audio at your own risk"

Anyhow, I tried a quick direct stream process of everything, and it died at the point 2/3rds through with the message

"Adio samples 57432624-57433118 could not be read in the source. The file may be corrupted"

I managed to encode a part of some of it beyond the screwed point, to the other screwed point near the end (after many attempts) but that had a terrible audio skew.

I could probably give more details, but until then, what should I do?

Delete the stupid file and buy the DVD.
