This is not possible due to the audio decoder you are using with mencoder (faad
is significantly slower than ffaac).
It is of course possible to pass options to mencoder and ffmpeg to make ffmpeg
slower (when mencoder is using FFmpeg to encoder audio and video, as in your
command line) outputting better quality.

(You did not clarify if the file you want to transcode plays fine with MPlayer).
