The DVDs of television episodes I've seen are usually mixed hard and
soft telecine. Sometimes the only telecining is right when the camera
changes view, for less than a second. Sometimes the intro is
hard-telecined whereas the actual episode isn't.

Of course, that might not be the case here...

To the original poster:
Do those messages occur continuously for long durations, or just
sporadically? The frame-stamps on the ones you posted indicate that
they're all close together, but I can't tell if that's representative
of what happens for a long time or for just a moment.

If you're not sure, just send the entire output:

(if you're using bash)
$ mencoder ...... 2>&1 | bzip2 > output.bz2

...and then attatch output.bz2 to your email.
