All recent versions of mencoder (SVN 34000+) are having troubles with
MTS files.

Try it with mencoder SVN 33986 compiled with ffmpeg 0.8 git (really 0.8,
not 0.8.1 or something like that). Or, if you are on Windows, try
MEncoder Sherpya-SVN-r33883-4.2.5 (C) 2000-2011 MPlayer Team

MEncoder SVN-r33986-FFmpeg-0.8.git-4.7.1 (C) 2000-2011 MPlayer Team
mencoder -fps 50 -noskip -ofps 25 -mc 1 -demuxer lavf \
	-vf scale=176:144 -aspect 16:9 -sws 2 -lavdopts fast:threads=8 \
	-of lavf -lavfopts format=mkv -ovc lavc \
	-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=256:keyint=90 \
	-oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=64 -o test_mencoder.mkv test.MTS

-ofps 10 had a sound problem, -ofps 25 is better.
