A Lot of it all depends on your source file.
I would highly recommend you add -vf harddup  to your command line, if 
you notice any
duplicate frame messages at the beginning of the encode they may be what 
cause your
current av offset.
The harddup filter will make MEncoder encode those duplicate frames to 
keep av sync.
