I was using Marillat's unofficial FFmpeg 0.4.6 (so it should have the
patch, no?). I don't notice any sync problems when I just watch the
FFmpeg encoded video. The problem is when I split or even just transcode
it to something else. It seems that NVrec does some magic to the video
to keep it in sync with the audio (or vice versa). I noticed the same
thing when recording to DivX. But then DivX is a final form format.
As for FFmpeg encoding to a VCD-compliant stream, I don't know. What
options do you pass to FFmpeg or NVrec?
