Thanks. As you can see from another posting I did find out as well.

As usual, it is easy to find something if you know where it is, or
what it's called. Reading the docs did (initially) not help. Several
hours of Googling only revealed that this question pops up now and
then, and never gets answered.

Still, it feels a bit strange to use mplayer for this purpose, and not
mencoder...
