I'm sorry, I was unclear.  The resulting AVI seems to be only about 80% of the 
file, eventhough mencoder says 99% when it bombs out.

I am completely stumped though.  After getting your mail I went home to do it 
again and copy all the output I can get.  And guess what?  It worked!  
Murphy's law...

Probably what happened.  I did the second pass a couple times over with the 
same results, but I never did the first pass over.  The divx2pass.log file 
probably got damaged somehow.

Thanks for the help though.
