[mythtv-users] nuvexport - audio leading video by one second

 	I ran into a similar problem when I was scripting up my 
transcoding using avidemux.  When you load up an MPEG2-flavored NUV file 
in avidemux with my setup, he complains about a 69 ms offset or something. 
Upon further examination with some mpeg tools (can't remember which), 
something said an offset (it wasn't a second though... more like 200 ms).

 	As if that weren't annoying enough, I'm pretty sure there's a bug 
in my version of mplex (mjpegtools mplex-2 version 1.6.2 (2.2.3)).  The -O 
flag sorta works, but there seems to be a numerical overflow sometimes. 
You can't set the offset to some things, because it interprets the 
parameter wrong.

 	Not sure if that helps since it's been awhile since I did all 
that.  Not wanting to get back into it, I haven't changed versions or 
touched anything since... since I finally got something that works.
