I have the same problem as this chap does.
Its VOB file as source.
I am using
MEncoder 1.0pre7-3.4.3


At the end of the 1st pass i get

Pos:7229.9s 180780f (100%)  35fps Trem:   0min 1195mb  A-V:0.081 [998:384]

Skipping frame!

It still spits out a 20+mb log file.
And at the end of the 2nd pass i get

Pos:7229.7s 180776f (100%)  35fps Trem:   0min 1147mb  A-V:0.083 [1000:319]
Skipping frame!
mencoder: ratecontrol.c:644: ff_rate_estimate_qscale: Assertion

My command is:

mencoder -of avi -sws 2 -vf scale=512:288 -ovc lavc \
-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vme=4:mbd=1:vbitrate=1000:trell:vhq:vpass=1 \
-oac copy input.vob  -loadidx  -o /dev/null


mencoder -of avi -sws 2 -vf scale=512:288 -ovc lavc -lavcopts \
vcodec=mpeg4:vme=4:mbd=1:vbitrate=1000:trell:vhq:vpass=2 \
input.vob  -loadidx -o output.avi -oac \
