Are you sure you're not talking about ffmpeg?

At least today's svn checkout mplayer/mencoder still seems to
work as stated in the manual:


       vbitrate=<value>
	      Specify bitrate (default: 800).
	      WARNING: 1kbit = 1000 bits
		 4-16000
		      (in kbit)
		 16001-24000000
		      (in bit)
