Dear Stefan,

Thanks for your advice.

I've done another capture, and find the following

   dvgrab - > test.dv    #capture 2 hours

   mplayer test.dv	#is fine, all the way through
   vlc test.dv		#looses sync

   usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -f dv -i test.dv -vcodec mpeg4 -b 512000 -async 
50 -acodec ac3 -ab 128000 -f mpegts ffmpegtest.avi

   mplayer ffmpeg.avi	#looses sync quite quickly.

No, it isn't.

Any other suggestions?
