What's supposed to do the _-mc 0_ option? Man page gives a brief
explanation that puts me in the same point... It talks about something
like: -mc<seconds/frame> Maximum sync a/v per frame (in seconds). That's
all. But it does not provide any list of possible values to add. ???

I was playing between 2800 and 3000 for vhs capturing (interlaced), I
think results were very very acceptable IMHO, but with these too large
margins I see now, I become confused totally.
