Alex,

I just copy/pasted your command line and changed the input/output files.

Here is the command line:
----------------------------------------------
mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg4:threads=2:aspect=16/9:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3:predia=2:dia=2:vmax_b_frames=2:vb_strategy=1:precmp=3:cmp=3:subcmp=3:preme=2:qns=2:dc=10:vbitrate=$VBITRATE:cbp 
-oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=standard iso/vts_01_1.vob -o test.avi

Here is the output:
-----------------------------------------------
MEncoder 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team

Error parsing option on the command line: -lavcopts

Maybe my version of mencoder is outdated?
