Ok. What about adding a pts field to mp_image_t?

Unfortunately, it is fed by the timestamp from the demuxer, while video
filters can add or remove frames.

Half the times when someone ask something about mencoder, the answer is
"mencoder is unmaintained, use ffmpeg instead". And this is not wrong: I
remember the time it took to bring ASS support from mplayer to mencoder, and
I understand that there are still features that are not in sync. And let us
not forget that mencoder can not mux keyframes in most formats.

They were not available. I'll try to factorize.

I thought so, but the place I looked did not use it. I'll check again.

> I consider a goto vastly preferable over this code-quituplication...

Ok.
