Nothing but bad ideas all around:

Demuxing and remuxing, for no reason.

Creating an MPEG-2 file named .avi

Using -endpos is not going to be clock-accurate.

No attempt taken to avoid skipped frames completely corrupting the
video.

etc.

Just about guaranteed A/V sync issues if you use -oac lavc.  Besides,
twolame sounds much better.

It makes _me_ think you didn't use the -copyts option.
