I have seen this as well - can you tell me the command
line parms you are using to create the mpeg2-ps file? What
version of Mencoder are you using?  I was under the
impression that mencoders ps multiplexer was still
considered "beta".

Unfortunately I don't know of any other program other than
transcode that can do this, but my experience with
transcode  is that the quality is not as good as
ffmpeg/mencoder.
