As far as we can read it here in this list , mplex does not work properly;
use pvastrumento (windowssoftware www.offeryn.de) instead. 
 mplex separates audio and video and put them together afterwards. In the
splitting process the PTS is ignored and audio and video of the final
stream is not in sync. If some audio or videoframes are dropped the delay
between audio and video can enlarge over time.
