-vop is deprecated. Use -vf instead

Sorry to jump in, but how come ffmpeg can output to other containers without a 
problem but MEncoder can't do that? I always thought that the lavf muxer is 
shared between ffmpeg and MEncoder, thus MEncoder should also be able to 
output to other containers without a problem...
