'-of mpeg' isn't very...good... What you should do is just use a normal
AVI container, then dump the raw audio and video (withou
-dumpaudio/-dumpvideo) from the avi, and use tcmplex(or mplex) to mux
the two together into an MPEG file.  I use the process to create SVCDs,
so I know it works (with MPlayer1.0pre2).

One thing you'll need to know before you use '-dumpvideo' (from
http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2003-September/037029.html):
