The problem is still present with r29747. Again, -demuxer lavf is the
magic thing.

Uploading a sample makes no sense, as the problem shows up on many files
with different containers/codecs.

The mencoder line is like the one in my first email, there is just '-oac
mp3lame -lameopts q=9' replaced with '-oac lavc -lavcopts
acodec=ac3:abitrate=128'.

But I would like to know which is broken, the generated avi file, or the
AVI demuxer. As I target to backup the transcoded files.

I can give other information as needed.
