The rest of the output was about the same but I can post more if needed.  Any idea why this might be happening or an idea of what else I can check?  I honestly can't remember if I did something different compiling the MEncoder from last year.  Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the advice but unfortunately it doesn't help.  Seems the problem still lies where the current MEncoder reads a 59.75fps where the correct one is 29.917.  When I play the video it's as if the 10 minutes were sped up into only 4 minutes or something.  That's when the conversion fails...

This could be a random bad video just interesting that the old MEncoder build I have works.  Maybe it's not just the build but also the way it was compiled?  Is there anything else I can check?  Thanks again and yes if I can't figure this out maybe I will have to give FFmpeg a try...
