The last time I tried it was some years ago. But it was this or a
very similar command, but definitely lavc and HuffYUV. And it has
worked without any problems the last time I tried it.

I doubt that this is a downstream issue. I'm using Arch Linux on a
x86_64 system, and the mencoder package from Arch's [extra] repository,
currently in the version 34344. The kernel I'm using is currently 3.1.

This is not a workaround for me, because I need to capture and cut it
raw at exact frames, which is not possible with mpeg, and then convert
it to whatever codec I want.
