Thanks for the suggestions.  -noskip had no effect but -mc 0 stopped the 
skipped frames.   Except with -mc 0, it eventually starts giving too 
many video packets in the buffer messages and incomplete frame and frame 
sync errors.  Combining both does the same.  :(

Ahh see it now.  Ok, this needs to be fixed, but it doesn't seem easy.
