[mythtv] codec that deals best with badly synced video

[Harondel J. Sibble]

>From a discussion on the mjpeg list it was mentioned that vcr's typically 
have horrible video sync which will usually give encoders a fit, resulting in 
high cpu usage and/or a/v sync problems or dropouts.  

I suspect this is what is happening when I watch tv taped on vhs through 
mythtv.  I am using the default rtpeg and am wondering if I would get 
better/worse results by using mpeg4?

The problem I experience is that every 20-30 seconds or so I get an audio 
dropout and a video hiccup and then a second or two later the 2 get in sync 
again.

This only seems to happen when watching with a vcr input.  The digital cable 
works without issue and the tv tuner seems to work pretty reliably.
