Thanks a lot: now it works.

One more small question: I usually reencode that clips with mencoder in 
order to watch them on tv by the dvd player. The reencoded file still has 
the same problem even with the option "-demuxer lavf".
I guess I should use this option duringe reencoding also, isn't it?

I ask this because usually I don't see the clips on the pc and just look 
at them on the player, so up to now I never noticed the problem...

Thanks
