There is no format=vcd.  Try xvcd.

VCD supports 24000/1001, 25, and 3000/1001; pick one.   You can use
lavcopts vstrict=-2 to set a non-standard one, and probably experience
many problems.

I don't understand at all.  If you want a mov with mjpeg video at
384x288 and pcm audio, why are you using mencoder to make a VCD with
mpeg1 video at a different resolution?

What's to grasp?  Set it to whatever final framerate you want to end-up
with.  -ofps (any number)

The only stupid mistake I see people make is using -noskip with it.
