At least for this "unknown frame duration" thing you could try the
following patch:

--- remux.c     2009/04/05 14:07:48     2.17

I'm afraid I don't know why the video data stream is broken.
You could try compiling remux.c with


static bool DebugFrames = true;


and post the debug info written to the console.
