I just tried an older version (1.0_pre6-r4) and the problem is still
there. I'll try libavcodec tonight..

Anyway, I noticed another thing. The movie that I just made with
1.0_pre6-r4 seems to be quite in sync until about 70 minutes. I found
out by playing the original DVD that MPlayer will report incorrect time
at about 60 minutes from the beginning of the movie. After 1:0:0 the
time begins from zero. I assume it must be because another VOB file was
being read. However it had no impact on sync.

Could this have influenced MEncoder?

I must be sounding desperate. But for no apparent reason, I'm unable to
compress any more movies and it's getting frustrating :)

If there's anything I could do to help localize the problem, let me know.

Anyway, I'll try libav and will let you know.
