	Ah, ok - so the problem is not in the encoder or the player.  That is
	a relief!

	Thank you very much for the extremely helpful hint.   If I add 2
	pixels to the width (856 is a multiple of 8):

	mencoder -dvd 1 -vop scale=856:480 -sws 2 -ovc lavc \
	      -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq -o title1.avi

	The problem on playback goes away.
	
	Thanks again!
