I can confirm this.  Converted a half-hour show (20 mins or so without 
commercials) and it was fine, but as soon as I got an hour-long show 
(still had commercials), the time difference was quite noticeable 
towards the end (around 3 seconds).

This could be a result of incorrect nuv support, but after talking with 
Gavin during his attempts to use avidemux2 to cut commercials from mpeg2 
nuv files, I can say that there is also a good chance that this comes 
from lost frames in the original nuv file.

This basically means that avidemux2 is NOT a good solution for nuv->avi 
conversion, and as I really want nuv->avi conversion for the next 
version of nuvexport, I will resume begging for this to be added to 
mythtranscode (preferably with commercial-cut, cc-export and 
title/subtitle/description meta data included).
