Hi Richard,
Sounds like a DNS problem to me.
Check this by pinging by name and also by address from the console of the
Linux box.
Also did you set up a default route to the ADSL router?
I hope this helps.

Thanks to BenDL, here's my a variation on problem solved I think:

# script starts
mencoder $1 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1 -oac copy -o
