+<title>Maintaining A/V sync</title>
+<para>
+ In order to maintain audio/video synchronization throughout the encode,
+ <application>MEncoder</application> has to drop or duplicate frames.
+ This works rather well when muxing into an AVI file, but is almost
+ guaranteed to fail to maintain A/V sync with other muxers such as MPEG.
+ This is why it is necessary to append the
+ <option>harddup</option> video filter at the end of the filter chain
+ to avoid this kind of problem.
+ You can find more technical information about <option>harddup</option>
+ in the section
+ <link linkend="menc-feat-dvd-mpeg4-muxing-filter-issues">Improving muxing and A/V sync reliability</link>
+ or in the manual page.
