Damn! The example is completely bogus! There's no inverse telecine
filter in the example when the text says that it's telecined.

I just fixed the doc, but the revised version won't show up online
before 12-24h.
So here is the good example:

pass1:
mencoder dvd://1 -ofps 24000/1001 -oac copy -vf
pullup,softskip,crop=720:352:0:62,hqdn3d=2:1:2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=2400:v4mv:mbd=2:trell:cmp=3:subcmp=3:mbcmp=3:autoaspect:vpass=1
  -o Harry_Potter_2.avi

pass2:
mencoder dvd://1 -ofps 24000/1001 -oac copy -vf
pullup,softskip,crop=720:352:0:62,hqdn3d=2:1:2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=2400:v4mv:mbd=2:trell:cmp=3:subcmp=3:mbcmp=3:autoaspect:vpass=2
  -o Harry_Potter_2.avi
