Comment:

 I believe this is a problem with support for frame repeats which is
 discussed here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=119242&page=2[[BR]]

 Here is a quote from the forum:
 {{{
 harissa is right. I think it is something else, something real
 simple.[[BR]]
 I believe that the RFF flags are being used for frame repeats rather than
 field repeats.[[BR]]
 That makes perfectly good sense given that the output is supposed to be
 progressive: 720P.[[BR]]
 That causes a big problem for DGMPGDec, because it supports only field
 repeats.[[BR]]
 I'll have to add support for frame repeats.

 I will verify my theory in the debugger today but it's the only plausible
 theory that fits the known facts.[[BR]]
 My successful encode working with that theory also tends to corroborate
 it.[[BR]]
 But I want to see the MPEG syntax in the debugger.

 As to why there are patches of frame repeats mixed with non-repeated
 sections, I do not know, but at least I know how to fix the D2V process
 for streams like these.

 EDIT: Theory confirmed in the debugger (RFF plus progressive_sequence =
 1)!
 }}}
 I think it's some sort of new thing broadcasters are using for some reason
 so support seems to be limited at this point.[[BR]]
 However, after reading the topic I have been able to use VirtualDub-MPEG2
 to convert those recordings to Xvid without any sync issues.
