I've tried every recommendation, no cigar. 

nuvexport fails with

Use of uninitialized value $mythtrans_pid in numeric eq (==)
at /usr/local/share/nuvexport/export/generic.pm line 385, <STDIN> line
13. Waited too long for mythtranscode to create its fifos.  Please try
again.

ffmpeg fails with

Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer
in stream 1: 2111460 >= 2111460 av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid
argument

and so on. Yet, MythTV plays these files no problem.

Suggested reindexing with mencoder does not fail, but the resulting
output file is no better.

Oh, and dear members of this list, could you make sure you have
