v3.4.0 fixes a sync problem that I was having with 3.3.0 with one
file, but introduces a problem with another file.

This sync issue only happens when I go vob -> avi -> mkv, but not vob -> mkv

So, the pipeline might look something like this:

mencoder -o a.avi -ovc copy -oac copy a.vob
mkvmerge -o a.mkv a.avi

The reason I go through the avi step is, sometimes it's a -ovc copy,
sometimes it's a more complicated -ovc lavc -lavcopts bunch:of:opts

In the mkvmerge from avi, I see this output:
Warning: Shortened GOP detected. Some frames have been dropped. You
may want to fix the MPEG2 video stream before attempting to multiplex
it.
Progress: 100%
The cue entries (the index) are being written...
Muxing took 30 seconds.
Warning: Video ended with a shortened group of pictures. Some frames
have been dropped. You may want to fix the MPEG2 video stream before
attempting to multiplex it.

With 3.2.0 it works nicely.  I just tested and 3.3.0 doesn't have a
problem with this particular input, just 3.4.0.

So, for now, I'm still sticking with 3.2.0.
