i think you are probably right that the source of my duped/skipped  
frames has always been due to the a/v sync code. but without writing  
a filter that turfs exactly the right number of frames, i couldnt be  
sure that was the case.

still, i feel better that i have a filter that does exactly the right  
thing with no tweaking.

so is -mc 0.042 -noskip the right thing to do? i find that without  
this, mencoder is constantly adjusting the sync and skipping/duping.
