(I have no idea how you managed to break quoting in such a massive way -
to the point of not only top-posting, and not only failing to add the
usual '>' at the beginning of each quoted line, but actually *removing*
the '>' marks which were present in my own reply - but I would like to
request that you not do it again. Usually I fix bad quoting by hand
before replying, but this is just too much to be worth it.)

Without the full output of MEncoder, all I can do in either case is
guess. In the former case ('-x264encopts' not being recognized), my
first guess is that perhaps you now have two copies of MEncoder
installed on your system, and your new one (with x264 support) comes
later in your PATH and so is not being used automatically. What do
'whereis mencoder' and 'which mencoder' tell you?
