Some comments on this config:
1- TMPEGEnc is only free (as in beer) for MPEG1, the encoders suggested in the wiki are free (speech and beer) for MPEG2.
2- TMPEGEnc (in my testing) won't create the 14.985 FPS file you are trying to make. It will create a 29.97 FPS file with duplicate frames, as 14.985 is a non-standard frameratre. ffmpeg in the wiki will create honest sub-23.976 FPS files, non-standard as they might be.
3- Under the "Video" tab, changing "Motion Search Precision" to "High quality" improves high-action scenes dramatically, but does slow encoding down.
4- Your Max and Min bitrates of 8000 and 2000 kbps are about 20 times what I would expect to be adequate. This and #2 are why your videos are falling out of sync.
5- Under the "Quantize matrix" tab, "Use floating point DCT" adds a little to compression time, but seems to be worth it.
6- You have the input file Aspect Ratio at 16:9, yet are exporting to a 4:3. Not always a problem, but you should be aware of that.
7- TMPEGEnc's audio encoder is not the best. The wiki encoders do a better job. When I use TMPEGEnc as my encoder I only let it do the video, and have TooLAME do the audio, then mux with TMPEGEnc's MPEG tools. But that's the smallest thing.
EDIT:
Just verified #2. Using your .mcf config file, a 30.564 second long test sample has 916 frames, 29.97 FPS.
#4 is odd, as TMPEGEnc appears to be ignoring your constraints. Still it is encoding the video stream at an average of 674kbps, which is still quite high for that size video. 431kbps would be the equivalent of the SVCD bitrate at that resolution, and 469kbps was the average bitrate of the wiki encodes of Elephant's Dream.
