"3-pass" encoding has been depreciated for YEARS, and I believe it's use
is now disabled by default.  Whatever guide is recomending -ovc frameno
is severely out of date, and probably recomending many other options
that will either offer poor quality, or perhaps fail entirely.

I suggest you read the HTML docs on mplayerhq.hu instead.
