I knew that already (so I though)... but I haven't chosen my words
carefully. I'm sorry that I used the word "stream" when I meant
"container" when in fact I do know the difference.

Here's the sentence you'd like (I guess):
Please note that MEncoder currently can't currently mux Vorbis audio
tracks into the output file because it only supports AVI and MPEG
containers as an output, each of which leads to audio/video
synchronization problems when they contain VBR audio streams such as
Vorbis.
Or:
Please note that MEncoder currently can't currently mux Vorbis audio
tracks into the output file because it only supports AVI and MPEG
containers as an output, which are not compatible with VBR audio
streams such as Vorbis.

If none of those sentences suit you, or if their are still wrong,
please commit an appropriate correction for it as don't trust myself
too much on that issue.


Again, sorry for the trouble.

Regards,

Guillaume
