You aren't creating an MPEG file, you are creating an AVI file that
just happens to be named "output.mpg"

You need to provide a lot more information to even start guessing what
the problem might be.  Also, this certainly doesn't seem to be a
mencoder problem at all.  Perhaps your video isn't a multiple of
16? Perhaps your videocard's overlay doesn't support resolutions of that
size?  Lots more info is needed to even narrow it down to a few hundred
possibilities...
