One last question on this.  I see you are using mencoder 1.1-4.8  Is this a 
Linux version revision number?  My MEncoder is svn-37905.  How old is your 
version?

Unfortunately, these are the only languages for the doc files:

That is a big drop from, let's say, a 5 GB DVD.  What resolution are you 
using and -xvidencopts are you using?  Quality could be bad.

Encoding with the Xvid codec:

I could only find these sections.  See MPlayer dumpjacosub to ?dumpsub and 
see if it helps.  Read the rest of it also may help:
