Well, I always compile only the static versions of all the libraries
that I use. As far as I can see, you have two problems:

1) xvidcore is not detected when you try to build a static MPlayer
2) MEncoder now crashes without any useful information

To solve (1) - look in configure.log for where it says "Checking for
xvid" or something similar. Look at the test that is executed, and the
error message.

To solve (2) -
See the section in the MPlayer HTML documentation on reporting bugs,
in particular how to compile with debugging information and get a stack
trace using gdb.
