You should probably use ffmpeg, mencoder is not maintained well (the only
advantage of mencoder would be the possibility to use the yadif de-interlacer).

Sure.

Please note that:
1)
dvbin only makes sense together with dvb:// (if you are directly receiving from
your dvb card). If you are playing a recorded stream (as in your sample) it has
absolutely no relevance,
2)
When sending mplayer debug information (that is very welcome!), please do not
separate std-out from std-err, it only makes analysis harder (that is at least
my opinion).

I am not sure: Does -demuxer lavf support tsprog?

I suspect that there was no sound recorded and looking at the channels.conf
line below, there is no sound pid entry.
