You are of course correct.  One way around this would be to pipe the output 
of mplayer into mencoder with mkfifo.   That's beyond my meager skills, but 
there's a sample script at:

"Howto: create video DVDs from avi with .idx/.sub subtitles""

(look at the mkfifo, mplayer and mencoder commands in the script)
