The mencoder man page clearly tells that it should.

Again: Did you try using only one thread? Are all those additional libraries you might have compiled into mplayer thread-safe? BTW: Is there a reason why in pass one you're using a cropped, scaled version of the movie and in pass two a _not_ scaled version? This will probably result in different blocks and will probably have (minor) bad influence on b/w calculation... > However there is a problem with pass 2.

If you have a little time, you may also want to do an "emerge -e mplayer" to sort out problems that are due to compiler change and similar. BTW: Are you overriding the mplayer ebuild's own CFLAG settings? > Ah, so this is working _real_ well... Any ideas out there? Because I > can't get past this point. Well, hard to imagine what you've already tried, but try the things mentioned above.
