(apparently they didn't have any noticeable effect on the video). It would be better if they can be avoided, but doing so at least involves a lot of trying.

Lower -mc values can smooth out varying A-V sync, whereas higher values can help against consistent desync. harddup I think should never break anything, though it can increase file size for no benefit - I do not have much experience with it though. > For the -tv options, I used "immediatemode=0".
