I know what the problem was.I was using the -include switch and had a 
batch file for NTSC and another for PAL.

Now I'm doing like this for NTSC:

BATCH
=====
mencoder -include settings.ini -vf softpulldown,hqdn3d -lavcopts keyint=18 
movie.vob -o movie.mpg

SETTINGS.INI
============
of=mpeg=1
ovc=lavc=1
nosound=1
noskip=1
lavcopts=vcodec=mpeg2video:ildct=1:ilme=1:vstrict=-1:vrc_buf_size=1835:vqcomp=0:vqblur=0:preme=2:ildctcmp=2:precmp=2:vqmax=10:mbqmax=10:vbitrate=300:vrc_minrate=300:vrc_maxrate=9800:scplx_mask=0.3:autoaspect=1

Before I was using vf=hqdn3d=4:3:6 in the -include file and -vf 
softpulldown in the batch file.
Now I found that no matter if -vf is before or after the -include switch, 
the -include settings will allways run first. So softpulldown was allways 
running second.

So if we need to use softpulldown we can't have -vf processing in the 
-include file.
Could be a good idea to have this note in the docs ;)
