With any -of other that avi, the harddup video filter is MANDATORY.
And it will do very bad things if you don't specify some sort of sane
value for -ofps.

If you want nice encoding to containers other than avi, use the ffmpeg
program itself, not mencoder. The only reason to use mencoder should
be its filters, which you're not using. Otherwise ffmpeg is much much
better.
