Skipping and duplicating frames is the way how mencoder maintains 
A/V sync. If your output is fine, just forget about those 
messages.

If you will have some problems with filters or smooth playback, try 
-vf softskip, -vf harddup -noskip, -skiplimit. But do not use them 
carelessly! If everything is fine just let mencoder to do its job.
