You might try and see what happens if you re-encode it rather than copying the 
media streams. Thing is with copying the stream you pass on any flaws that 
might be able to be corrected by ffmpeg, but are not as gracefully dealt with 
by other implementations.

At least that might help narrow the problem down a bit and determine if the 
problem is with the origional source, or with ffmpeg.

It would be nice to have a bit-stream filter to re-write time stamps when 
doing a stream copy, but sadly no such filter exists yet.
