Do you have a small sample where you can reproduce this? That would
probably be best to get this resolved, i.e. open a ticken in trac
(https://trac.ffmpeg.org/) upload files and a description (command
line used in ffmpeg, command line used using mencoder and the
difference in the result, e.g. "frames 12, 16 and 19 are missing in
the ffmpeg output" and what you think would be correct behaviour). If
you get this resolved without this, could you post the solution here?
