My first suggestion would be to try:

mencoder mf://*.jpeg -mf w=720:h=480:fps=29.97:type=jpeg -audiofile
audio.ac3 -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts YOUR_OPTIONS_HERE -o movie.avi

This should produce an AVI file, which you can then remux using other
tools to create whatever type of file you want.

It may or may not be possible to create a 'm2v file' directly with
MEncoder by using -of lavf, but if it is I do not see any indication of
the fact in the documentation I have on hand. Then again, I also do not
in a quick search see any definitively clear indication of what a 'm2v
file' is supposed to actually *be*, so...
