Yea! Thanks that did the trick.

Sorry about getting everyone sidetracked. As I said earlier, I am just 
wading into the complexities of video processing.

I case someone writes a wiki somewhere on this, I added the -noskip 
because the man page section for -mpegopts said:

 "Generally, when generating MPEG files, it is advisable to disable 
MEncoder's frame-skip code (see -noskip, -mc as well as the harddup and 
softskip video filters)"
