vdub can't handle VBR audio.

same with all well-written players

it must be ok with cbr, at least the latest CVS versions. it was fixed ~1
week ago.

dvb support of mplayer is under development, and is early alpha stage.
unfortunately nowdays i'm too busy with my commercial work (that fuckin'
deadlines...) but as soon as i'm ready, i'll back to dvb support, and finish
it (fix seeking desync, change to mp1e codec, integrate audio resampling
etc)

> Can I do something to improve the playback of this divx files?
use nandub ?

vdub author says: vbr audio is illegal.
and he refuses all support for such files, both input and output side.
nandub = vdub + vbr support.
