Just change the first time (21,96) to the very large value that is the 
"real" first PTS of your stream.

Test with mplayer first.  If it doesn't work in mplayer, I don't think 
it will work in mencoder.

I don't know.

You could try other tools to remultiplex your recording - e.g. "replex" 
from Marcus Metzler (which I think he has written to replace dvb-mplex), 
pvaStrumento (under Wine) or the Java "ds.jar" (or it's open source 
replacement - I forget the name).
