???  It's listed in the mencoder manual page.

It could maybe stand to be more specific.  The manual page's write up 
is:

          -ovc raw
               encode  to arbitrary uncompressed format (use -vf format
               to select)

That is, '-vf [whatever else...],format=yuy2' may help.

>Option -ffourcc doesn't help too.

No, -ffourcc only changes what format code is recorded in the file (in
case some flaky player doesn't recognise the standard codes), not the 
actual encoding for the video stream.
