many thanks Carl, for that switch '-pix_fmt yuv420p'
I got perfect video and audio after encoding on the Linux with the below command pipeline.

ffmpeg -i 1.Chandi.HiRes  -ab 320k -vol 1024 -vcodec libx264 -b:v 2000k -pix_fmt yuv420p 1.Chandi.HiRes.tv3.mp4

I then tried to use the same command string on the Mac LION, and it doesn't work.
see below:

./ffmpeg -i /Volumes/LaCie_Disk_2TB/ChandiHiResClasses/1.Chandi.HiRes  -ab 320k -vol 1024 -vcodec libx264 -b:a 2000k /Volumes//My_Book/Chandi_Classes_640x480_1-29-12/1.Chandi.HiRes-g5.mp4
