It may be possible to change the ofps and re-initiate the encoding from the
beginning, almost if the change is detected in the first few frames...

This is true, but I really didn't know the problem of telecine encoding and I needed
to ask here to solve the problem. It may be interesting to add almost a very visible
warning to mencoder almost when it is in the first of 3 pass. It may be added to the
final report for the recomended bitrates. Something like "Telecine detected. You may
need to add -ofps in order to obtain the right final file size"
