You mean following 
---------------
Encoding from a pipe 
rar p test-SVCD.rar | mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=800 -ofps 24 -
---------------

I want "mencoder ... | ffmpeg -i - ...". I mean I want use mencoder to read *.* file and decoder it to raw video/audio streams and pipe them to ffmpeg for encoding. Because mencoder is good at reading files and ffmpeg is good at encoding files. (Mencoder can not call ffmpeg *audio* codec now and I want to use ffmpeg audio codec amr_nb for .3gp file).

Any suggestions? Thanks!
