-loadidx takes a file as argument, in this case the file is "-o", and
/dev/null is the second file to use as input, after input.vob has been
processed. The large flood of error messages is when mencoder
tries to find a codec/demuxer that can decode the void in /dev/null.

Btw, don't touch vme, mbd=1 and vhq are the same thing, and
mbd=2 is better and roughly the same speed.
