Right, I don't know if this will make a difference, but try this:
mencoder dvd://1 -alang en -oac copy -ofps 23.976 -ovc xvid \
-xvidencopts pass=1:bitrate=1600 -vf scale=688:384 -o /dev/null

mencoder dvd://1 -alang en -oac copy -ofps 23.976 -ovc xvid \
-xvidencopts pass=2:bitrate=1600 -vf scale=688:384 -o 1-incomplete.avi

I've used XviD for a while now, and the only time the bitrate I
specified is ignored is when I run pass=1...
