As it happens, all of the files I have been able to find in my archive
which I remember having significant desync (up to two seconds in one
case IIRC) are playing quite well both with and without -correct-pts.
Perhaps MPlayer itself has been fixed since I last tried playing them.

Please don't top-post. I've fixed the quoting by hand for this message,
but it's annoying to do that on anything like a regular basis.

In cases where the A/V desync changes over the course of playback, there
are two usual possible causes: too-slow hardware (and/or VO, etc.), or
incorrect FPS.

What does MPlayer say the FPS of your file is?

Have you tried passing different values to the -fps option and seeing if
any of them make the problem less severe?
