Does it still happen if you omit `-mc 0 -noslip -sliplimit 0'? Mencoder
seems to like to skip and/or duplicate a few frames at the beginning of
an encode, but you don't need those options to preserve A-V sync.

If you still have trouble, try playing the DVD at that position
(17800f). It might be that your disc is scratched, smudged or otherwise
not properly readable right there.
