I brought up Encore a while back.   Encore will accept rc1-3.4.3 if you 
set format=mpeg2 instead of format=dvd.  As far as I know, no version of 
mencoder with format=dvd will produce Encore compatible files.    I 
wouldn't, for a split-second, think that Encore should be used to judge 
the compliance of files, though.  It's really picky.
