That helped a lot.

mplayer \*.jpg -mf on:w=640:h=480:fps=5
- Plays fine

mencoder \*.jpg -mf on:w=640:h=480:fps=5 -ovc divx4
- Segfaults

mencoder \*.jpg -mf on:w=640:h=480:fps=5 -ovc divx4 -vop scale=640:480
- Encodes fine

Really strange. All the images are already 640x480. And I specify the
dimensions in the -mf option. So I don't really see why the -vop scale is
necessary.

This should probably be in the MEncoder docs.

Oh well.
Now I know how to make it work.
Thanks!
