i use this command for encoding movies for playing them on my dvd-player:

nice -20 mencoder movie.avi -of mpeg -o film.mpg -subfont-text-scale 3 -subcp cp1250 -font /usr/share/fonts/corefonts/timesbd.ttf -subpos 78 -sub plik.txt -ofps 25 -srate 44100 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=1400:vhq:aspect=4/3:keyint=25:acodec=mp2:abitrate=128:vqmin=2:vlelim=-4:vcelim=9:lumi_mask=0.05:dark_mask=0.01:vrc_override=1,10,708:vqcomp=0.1:vratetol=10000000:vrc_buf_size=917:vrc_maxrate=2500:intra_matrix=8,9,12,22,26,27,29,34,9,10,14,26,27,29,34,37,12,14,18,27,29,34,37,38,22,26,27,31,36,37,38,40,26,27,29,36,39,38,40,48,27,29,34,37,38,40,48,58,29,34,37,38,40,48,58,69,34,37,38,40,48,58,69,79:inter_matrix=16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,22,24,26,30,32,32,34,36,24,26,28,32,34,34,36,38,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,28,30,32,34,36,38,42,42,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44 -vf harddup
u can leave the -vf hurdup (it copy doubled frames) and other not-usefull for u options and try it.I even dont have to bother creating vcd, it just plays very good :-).
maybe itll help you.
