Maybe, libavformat is kinda broken last I checked though. Anyway it
won't help -- the fundamental problem is that some containers don't
allow you to store repeated frames without encoding them twice, and
thus mencoder has to actually be able to encode the frame twice (or
somehow output a dummy no-change frame for the selected codec). This
requires fixing mencoder, preferably by rewriting the A/V sync (or the
whole program) from scratch.
