=) I've done about the same this night, only I use -ac <name> and -vc <name> 
where name is the codecs name from the codecs.conf, which is more convenient 
I think, so I removed your -vcodec stuff. Btw. I don't fallback to codec 
autodetect when forced codec fails, if one whants to force, why fallback?

so you can do something like ./mplayer foo.avi -ac mp3acm -vc ffdivx

I recognized one thing: for low res/low bitrate movies ffmpeg is faster for 
high res/high bitrate divx dshow/vfw is faster.
