mencoder can already generate the compatible mp2 file
or mp3 file from the ogg file. so it does not really
matter the format from which you want to read it with
mencoder.

I have always done that from .jpg files but some times
on the mplayer list, the group had thought that .png
was better. in some circumstances I think so too,
because I get better results with .png at times.

In that case, vcd compatible mpeg1 files like you had
generated with your lavf command will be ok. From my
personal experience, I think you will get more players
to play an mpeg1 file when you use the mencoder native
muxer.  I do something like this, (which is not
however documented, and better still vcdimager will
not complain if you ever use it with the generated
files)
"mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts *format=vcd* -oac lavc 
-ovc lavc -lavcopts ...................etc  "
