[MPlayer-users] Fixing non-interleaved AVI with mencoder breaks av sync

[Dominik Mierzejewski]

Hello list.
Recently I came across a most peculiar problem. I have a non-interleaved
AVI file. MPlayer plays it more or less correctly and maintains good audio
sync. I'd like to burn it on a CD, so naturally I tried

mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -o fixed.avi non-interleaved.avi

The resulting file is bad. For the first 10 minutes av sync is good, then
it goes off to about 17 seconds (and stays up to the end of the movie) and
no use of -delay seems to fix it. Any ideas? I tried searching the
archives, but nothing really relevant came up. Should I upload first 15
minutes of this movie? I'm using MPlayer-0.90.

mplayer -identify says this about the original file:
