[MPlayer-users] Audio sync problem with mencoder

[Zacharias]

im not that experienced. i ve jsut recentlymove to linux as my main OS. but
acttualy i have the same issue.
i thought it would be something wrong with my config. i actually do dump
fisrtly the video woth no sound to m2v format, (i thnk. im not at home atm
so i cant confirm) but i think youll get the point.
but when i mux the video and the audio in an mkv container, i get the
delay. its very weird.
any thoughts?
