i generally have no problems, as long as the source video has a constant 
frame rate.

ok i tried making a flash video using:

/usr/local/bin/mencoder "$1" -o testout.flv -noskip \
     -of lavf -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -lameopts q=7  \
     -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=350 \
     -vf scale=320:-10:noup=1,harddup -srate 22050 -af lavcresample=22050

and the audio & video go out of sync.

it prints tons of "duplicate frame(s)" errors.

Video stream:  370.176 kbit/s  (46272 B/s)  size: 2942666 bytes  63.595 
secs  1164 frames

Audio stream:   51.205 kbit/s  (6400 B/s)  size: 410310 bytes  64.104 secs

notice the lengths are almost 2/3rds of a second off.
