I don't think MEncoder is the tool for you. A quote from jira.com:
"Mencoder cannot create soft subtitles but instead it burns them directly to the 
video stream. Since this is not what we want this program is useless." - Nejc Skofic

I believe this comment to be true. Adding closed-captioning is really a 
multiplexing task, not an encoding task, so perhaps you should look at a tool 
such as MP4box.
