Take a look here at a couple of mencoder scripts you might find useful to get around that, unless there's a reason that I don't know about...

Actually, as of pre7 MEncoder can take any format MPlayer will play and convert it to a DVD-compliant MPEG2. I've had a few minor problems with artifacting for a few seconds using that method, but it's really easy and faster than any other way I've seen. If my computer ever stops crashing I'll probably see if I can get the minor issues worked out (they might be fixed in MPlayer CVS too, I don't know).

IIRC, when I used the -af lavcresample option they list there it crashed on me. I don't know if that's a general problem or just me, but it's something to be aware of.
