for melt, I don't know the exact cmd line syntax to use, so create a simple project in OpenShot that has the problem. Then use the menu item File>Export XML to create an xml file that can be parsed by melt, such as:
melt filename.xml
By doing this, we can see if the problem is in ffmpeg, MLT or OpenShot.
To help narrow down the problem, please can you try speeding up your videos using ffmpeg & melt:
for ffmpeg, something like this:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -filter:v 'setpts=0.5*PTS' output.mkv
