If using lavc, change the fourcc (see FAQ).

If it's video-only, you need to use -of rawvideo. Muxing to a PS with no
audio track usually isn't playable.

If you included (MP2) audio, don't use Mencoder's -of mpeg muxer.  After
1.0pre7, the output isn't playable by most players.  You can use -of
lavf (if you don't need b-frames) or you can mux video and audio with
mplex.

No, but the command-lines you used would be the bare minumum to
even guess what's wrong.
