If you had just posted the error message, instead of writing an essay
(with the important info carefully concealed somewhere deep inside)
you'd have gotten answers much more quickly and easily...  Paraphrasing
almost never works, because the more important bits invariably don't get
conveyed, as you've proven.

MEncoder doesn't complain about the video in your sample being
"non-interleaved" at all...  As it shouldn't, only AVI can be ni.  What
it complains about is "too many video packets in the buffer" and merely
suggests -ni as an option.  MEncoder has several entirely unrelated
error messages  that suggest the same.

That error message means audio and video are getting too far out of
sync for MEncoder to cope.  Different values of -mc can cause and or
resolve such problems.  But specifying an incorrect frame rate can as
well. "Too many *video* packets" suggests the frame rate you've forced
is too high.  *audio* would be the opposite.
