FFmpeg now supports a similar input format, see 
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#concat-1

(You do know that MEncoder is not an actively 
maintained application for several years that 
should only be used for tasks that FFmpeg cannot 
perform?)

This is an intentionally broken version of 
MEncoder, please compile from current svn 
and test again (if you don't want to use 
FFmpeg).
