I tried with xine and mplayer. Neither shows any perceptible sync
difference, even for a large -O.

That's precisely what doesn't work for me.
Here's the -O -500 file:

       frame rate: -f 23.976 [25.000] frc=1 (*)
                   PTS=0.1780, frame_time=41 ms, bitrate=9800 kbps
      audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x50 [0x2000]
(*)
                   PTS=0.2008, bitrate=224 kbps
                   -D 0 --av_fine_ms -22 (frames & ms) [0] [0]

And here's the -O 500 one:

       frame rate: -f 23.976 [25.000] frc=1 (*)
                   PTS=0.2008, frame_time=41 ms, bitrate=9800 kbps
      audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x50 [0x2000]
(*)
                   PTS=0.1780, bitrate=224 kbps
                   -D 0 --av_fine_ms 22 (frames & ms) [0] [0]

+/- 22 ms difference instead of 500 :-(

I didn't try on the hardware DVD player. But there's no reason to,
because three different applications show the same results.

Exactly the opposite here.

That's precisely what i'd like to use it for.

Andrew Stevens mentioned something about compiler/libraries differences,
which rings true to me. I'm pretty sure i'm not repeating the same
mistake over and over, and mplex -O fails for me on several different
systems, all of them running several different Red Hat "flavors".
That's why i suspect it's probably not just me who has the problem. I
believe i actually reported it like a year ago on mjpegtools-users
(given or taken), but somehow the issue faded away quietly.

Someone who knows how VOB/MPEG2 are supposed to look like might be able
to spot the issue if he takes a look at the files i uploaded on my
website (link in my other message), but to me it's all a black box.

If one of the main developers wants to take a look at the problem, i can
provide a temporary SSH shell on one of my systems, i just need the
public SSH key (mail me privately).
