Hello Varol It is bad when one has several problems in a day and writes several emails, which get mixed up :)
My original problem with audio synchronizaion in the menu was solved by adding -autosync 30 option to mplayer in the step just before the rendering. This is where the frames of the menu clip are split into png image before being rendered into the menu with buttons. this seemed to help. I do not know if the choice of 30 is the right/best, but it is mentioned in the mencoder man page as the starting point. Well, for me, it was the end point also. :-) Thanks for your help.
