In my experiencie, the problems of a/v sync happens when audio is not
compressed/converted at the same time of the video. Try to do ALL the
work using mencoder, or at least, leave the container conversion to
another program but do not compress audio and video in two different
processes.

Even using only mencoder, a process having mencoder -oac copy -ovc
lavc [etc. etc.] can result on a/v sync problems. The solution is
mencoder -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc or something else that encodes both
streams (audio and video) in the same process.
