Well.. I gave up and bought a DVB-T card. THis way teh stream comes interleaved. I think there are some syncing problems which come from some clocks on some sound cards. I think CPU is a synching problem source, and I think mencoder just struggles to record TV. So, what is your mencoder command? Have you tried dumping the stream to HD and encoding offline? (this takes big HD). Are you recoding sound off the card directly or sound input through the soundcard?
