There is a separate mailing list for MEncoder-related questions, it's called
mencoder-users. Please subscribe and ask there.

"cat *.vob|mencoder" often causes A-V desync. The right way is to use
-dvd-device /path/to/ripped/dvd and dvd://N.

-vop is obsolete, use -vf. vhq doesn't provide best quality anymore, use
mbd=2 instead.

You really should read some docs.
