I suggest you have a look at that thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mencoder.user/1196

... and off course the HTML doc
http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/index.html lotsa work has been
put towards updating those, so you're guaranteed to find fresh tips
there (and get flamed to hell if you ask questions on topics that are
already covered by that doc, at least by me).
