Correcting for periodicity may require more than one attempt at using  
trjconv.  using trjconv -pbc nojump, or trjconv -center may be  
necessary, either alone or in conjunction with other iterations.   
Unfortunately, trjconv takes a bit of experimenting to get working  
properly, and there is no clear how-to to treat the periodicity of any  
one system.
