Please use latest version when reporting bugs. Otherwise it's likely
that your bug has already been fixed...

My next recommendation would be to try 2pass instead of 3pass (i.e. rm
frameno.avi and skip the -ovc frameno step entirely). The whole idea
behind 3pass is brain damaged and it's a miracle that it ever works.
There have been a/v desync reports with it before...
