Reading your answer/script, some further questions come to my mind...:

Good to hear that, since it seems to run a LOT faster than divx4 :)

What's the advantage of the internal pass method ?

Are you cropping *all* of your videos or is this just an example ?
What is "-sws 9" ? Documentation (html) says valid range is 0 - 2
and man mencoder tells me valid range is from 0 - 5 ?

What are these "vrc_strategy,..." values ?

"man mencoder" tells me that these options exist but (for most of them)
