So does anyone have a decent mencoder incantation to transcode it into something
just as high def but smaller and more playable?

This doesn't work to well (yet) :)

nice -n 17 mencoder $original  $TEST -oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidencopts
pass=1:vhq=0:me_quality=5:turbo:quant_type=mpeg:aspect=$aspect:max_bframes=0:bitrate=$bitrate
-o /dev/null
nice -n 17 mencoder $original  $TEST -oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidencopts
pass=2:vhq=3:quant_type=mpeg:aspect=$aspect:max_bframes=0:bitrate=$bitrate -o
$new_file
