Maybe, this DVD was authored with program that came with the video
capture device that I used to convert some video tapes. I don't know if
that was the problem but I recall that I set an option to generate a DVD
compatible with DVD players.

Anyway, I have no idea why KVideoEncoder forces setting -aid 128. If
this parameter is omitted, mencoder gets the audio from the right channel.
