give up: the TS muxer that mencoder uses is the same in ffmpeg,
that royally sucks.
In ffmpeg-soc there's a new TS muxer that is rumoured to be good,
so if you wish you can begin backporting it to ffmpeg.

There are also 2 other TS muxers that you can use: one is VLC
(vls --sout '#std{mux=ts,access=file,url=file.ts}' ... or something
impossible like that) and another one is in tcvp
