a way to fix audio/video desynch from conversion to MPEG2 due to bad video source?

Sorry about the title, I tried to keep it as simple as possible without it being too ambigious.

Anyway, I've downloaded some videos that I've been converting to MPEG2 with TMPGEnc in preparation for burning to DVD.

Everything's been going fine except a video file is giving me trouble. (And yes, I've tried redownloading it, but that didn't help.) When converting the video, I get a message "Index scan lines out of range," and the video stops converting.

I Googled this and found these instructions:

Quote:

1) Load the .AVI file (DivX-compressed or otherwise) into the most recent version of either VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod

2) Set "Video" to "Direct Stream Copy"

3) Select "Check for errors"

4) Select "Mask bad frames"

5) Save with a new filename

Well, the video finished converting and plays fine up until the part where the source video is corrupted, the MPEG2 video skips a couple seconds of video, and a second later the audio skips, but strangely enough, the audio is ahead a few seconds of the video.

When I play the .avi file (the one I fixed with VirtualDub), at the point where it's corruped, the video and audio skips ahead, but it resynchs fine.

Is there any way to work around this? Or no?

Thanks in advance!

Jam it back in, in the dark.
