It's a recent change that Mencoder is so very strict about MPEG-1/2
frame-rates, and I don't know why it was changed.

Anyhow, you can get around it by a couple methods.  The "proper" way is
to use -ofps 29.97002997  (or -ofps 23.976023976).  Alternatively, you
could for it to use 29.97 if you add vstrict=-1 to your lavcopts.
