Remove padding stream

Ok, i've read tons of posts here and on newsgroups, but noone of the provided solutions really worked.

The problem is: i have a lot of captured video with PowerVcr II via Avermedia Tv Phone 98 card, mpeg2 video - 720*576, 25fps, 8000kbps and mpegLayer2 at 224kbps. The computer is surely fast enought (Athlon XP 2600, 512mb ram, encoding on secondary HD with no fragmentation).

The video plays smooth in Windows Media Player, even if that fastidious padding stream is present - as far as i know, all players using directshow filters are able to perform the video with audio in sync and with no scratcy sonds on PTS errors.

But: whenever i encode the video, cut, import or try to author it there are allways one of those problems:
1) audio-video NON LINEAR de-sync (hence, padding stream was ignored)
2) scratcy audio on PTS

i've tried allmost everything if opening this topic fails, i think i'm going to ask Harry Potter's help.
Solutions tested with NEGATIVE results:
* TMPGEnc demuxing
* TMPGEnc "ES-audio only" with MPEG1 VFAPI filter first in list (someone suggested to deactivate "CRI SOFTEC DECODER"... obviously he had another mpge2 decoder, but i never understood witch one
* Re-encoding with PowerVCR: interesting result, since padding stream disappeared and there was allmost no desync and no scratchy audio - still, when encoding to DVD problems came back
* using PVAStrumento and ProjectX
* using NeroVision to author and triead MANY other programs

Points are:
1) i can't change captuing program or card - have allready registered all i needed from a tv-broadcast, so i can't acquire them again
2) there MUST be a solution - like a player that renders the audio/video and writes it back on the hard-drive instead of showing it
3) it's IMPOSSIBLE that Media Player can fix that problem and any other editing tool can't...

so, any clue?
