"pass=3" options don't means that it's "3 pass encoding" but that it's 
some further encoding after first run and it needs "xvid.pass" file from 
earlier run. So if you want "3 pass encopding's you must give it 3 run:

1# mencoder dvd:// -dvd-device "/home/shared/??????" -alang English -oac 
copy -ovc x264 -x264encopts pass=1:bitrate=6000:keyint=25 -vf pp=de -o 
"/home/admin/Videos/??????"

2# mencoder dvd:// -dvd-device "/home/shared/??????" -alang English -oac 
copy -ovc x264 -x264encopts pass=3:bitrate=6000:keyint=25 -vf pp=de -o 
"/home/admin/Videos/??????"

3# mencoder dvd:// -dvd-device "/home/shared/??????" -alang English -oac 
copy -ovc x264 -x264encopts pass=3:bitrate=6000:keyint=25 -vf pp=de -o 
"/home/admin/Videos/??????"

And dont forget to add "keyint=<fps_number INT>" to "x264encopts - it 
will help greately at seeking video after encoding.
