I've been using Adobe's Media Encoder to change my H.264 files to AVI (Lag or Magic) just fine. But I notice when it comes to VC-1, I seem to be gaining about 3 second inexplicably. That's enough to cause all sorts of sync errors. So does anyone know another (better) way to convert VC-1 to AVI? I tried Vdub and it didn't like VC-1 either.
Also I can't get TSMuxer to accept VC-1 when I was trying to convert my MKV to a TS, anyone else have this problem?

The video enhancer app is just a virtualdub front-end, no? I just use avisynth and FFMpegSource2 to load the video. Something like this:
FFMpegSource2("vc-1-video.mkv").killaudio()
You can then load the .avs file into your AVI encoder.

I used an avs script to load a VC-1 m2ts into vdub, when I converted Superman Returns to lagarith for editing.

I ended up trying, ffinputdriver which allows me to load VC-1 encoded footage into vdub which then I convert to AVI. Anyone try this before?
Also I was using MKVextract to demux my VC-1 MKV which apparently caused addtional trouble. So with advice from Doombot, I used eac3to which demuxed the MKV much better.
I think that created a new AVI in sync with the audio. Unfortunately, I now have to cut it up and copy my color grades over from the bad AVI. Sigh. I hate VC-1
