[MPlayer-users] Mencoder seems to skip duplicate frames - switch?

[Hans Meine]

Hi again!

What a pity that I did not get any answer yet ;-}, I'd like to ask again:
- Can I prevent mencoder/mplayer from skipping duplicate frames?
- Or can I tell mencoder with -oac copy and -ovc copy to use a concrete (e.g. 
+400ms) A/V sync offset?

Hoping someone can/will help,
