Command-line is as simple as possible:

1.0pre7 Works:
mencoder-1.0pre7 -vf pp=lb -ofps 30000/1001 -endpos 60
/home/root/TV/Secrets\ of\ the\ Dead\ 2006.11.15_2000.mpg -oac lavc -ovc
lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:abitrate=128 -of mpeg -mpegopts
format=mpeg1 -o mpeg1-pre7.mpg

CVS Fails:
mencoder -vf pp=lb -ofps 30000/1001 -endpos 60 /home/root/TV/Secrets\
of\ the\ Dead\ 2006.11.15_2000.mpg -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg1video:abitrate=128 -of mpeg -mpegopts format=mpeg1 -o
mpeg1-cvs.mpg

(Note: tsaf doesn't help)
