Kernel 2.6.18

I have an AVI file I would like to resize for a PSP which has a nice wide
display.  I was hoping to use the same settings I use for transcoding MPEG2
recordings, but when I attempt this I get:

Writing header...
[psp @ 0xa932f0]PSP mode need one video and one audio stream
[mpeg4 @ 0xc67e50]frame skip 8

Here is the full output, does anyone have any suggestions?

You have certified that your video stream does not contain B frames.
REMEMBER: MEncoder's libavformat muxing is presently broken and will
generate
INCORRECT files in the presence of B frames. Moreover, due to bugs MPlayer
will play these INCORRECT files as if nothing were wrong!
