[MPlayer-users] mencoder skipping/duplicating and -fps

Well, it seemed to work. Without -ofps, the streamcopying reports the 
usual amount of duplicate frames and the output video is kind of jumpy 
and uneven. With -ofps, the streamcopying is happy and produces even, 
smooth output that plays just fine (as long as I specify -fps 23.976 
when playing it). It's only when I try to encode again that I have these 
problems.

No, neither of those work. I still get lots of skipped frames. Doing a 
regular rip (encoding directly to lavc) from the original DVD worked 
fine when I specified -ofps 23.976, so that is indeed the framerate of 
the original material.

So, is there any hope of getting a good encoding out of that streamcopy? 
Thanks for your assistance.
