Does this have anything to do with my post to mplayer-users entitled "Telecine
does not seem to be working"?

I just updated to r24632 (which should include your patch, as I updated after
reading your post), but I still have the same problem, which is that MPlayer
cannot play MPEGs produced by MEncoder with -mpegopts format=dvd:telecine. There
is continuously increasing A/V desync, with the audio running ahead of the
video. If I play it with -demuxer lavf, the video plays faster, but the desync
is not as great. Also, with -demuxer lavf, MPlayer does not display the usual
warning:

demux_mpg: 30000/1001fps NTSC content detected, switching framerate.
Warning! FPS changed 23.976 -> 29.970  (-5.994005) [4]   ??,?% 0 0

Other players, such as VLC, MPC, PowerDVD (included with my DVD burner) played
the file correctly. Before updating to the latest svn, I applied Monty's patch
and made a DVD, which played correctly in a stand-alone DVD player.
