Ok, I see that "duplicate frames" also count, but the question is:
Do I really have to deal with the index size or should mencoder do this?
In other cases with smaller output mencoder seams to handle the bitrate
different. I'll start some test to make a full report on this which will
take some days... maybe, it's a bug...

BTW, it's version 0.91
