Since you apparently don't konw:
MEncoder is not an actively maintained application 
for several years, it should be possible to do 
above encoding with current FFmpeg, please report 
(on ffmpeg-user) if it does not work!
(There are still features of MEncoder that do not 
work with FFmpeg but I don't see any of them above.)

> MEncoder svn r34540 (Ubuntu)

Unfortunately, this is not MEncoder but an 
intentionally broken version that contains many 
known bugs not present in (real) MEncoder, some 
apparently security relevant, please understand 
that we therefore cannot support it here.

> libavformat version 53.32.100 (external)
> Mismatching header version 53.19.0

This probably makes it worse.

Generally, I don't think it is a good idea to 
continue old threads that were inactive for 
over two years;-)
