Why do you think the above command gives you an MPEG file? Naming a file .mpg
doesn't change its contents. MEncoder produces AVI files by default, use -of
to change the output container format.

You need to read up on creating DVD-compatible MPEG files. See the appropriate
section of MEncoder encoding documentation.
