unfortunately, this did not solve my problem.  still winds up being the same 
file size (~508MB).

just for the record, these are the scripts I am using:

audio.sh:
----------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

set -e

if test $# -ne 2
then
        echo "usage: ./audio.sh <filename> <ofps>"
        exit 1
fi

ofps=$2

rm -f frameno.avi
mencoder \
        -oac copy \
        -ovc frameno \
        -ofps ${ofps} \
        -o frameno.avi ${1}


video.sh:
----------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

set -e

if test $# -ne 3
then
        echo "usage: ./video.sh <filename> <ofps> <vbitrate>"
        exit 1
fi

filename=$1;
ofps=$2;
vbitrate=$3;

mencoder \
        -oac copy \
        -ovc lavc \
        -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=${vbitrate}:vpass=1:v4mv:vqmin=2:vqmax=9 \
        -vop scale=640x480 \
        -ofps ${ofps} \
        -o ${filename}-1.avi ${filename}

mencoder \
        -oac copy \
        -ovc lavc \
        -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=${vbitrate}:vpass=2:v4mv:vqmin=2:vqmax=9 \
        -vop scale=640x480 \
        -ofps ${ofps} \
        -o ${filename}.avi ${filename}

rm -f divx2pass.log
rm -f ${filename}-1.avi


and here are the command lines:
./audio.sh /usr/local/video/alias/alias.1x02.SVCD.SD-6.mpg 23.976
./video.sh /usr/local/video/alias/alias.1x02.SVCD.SD-6.mpg 23.976 1978
