Didn't follow too closely, but it seems like you want to change the 
frame rate of an mpeg movie.  I looked into it awhile back and found I 
have more control if I converted to an avi file instead.  Here is the 
command I use (using transcode instead of mencoder):

transcode -i [mpgfile] -y xvid -f 10 -o [avifile]

This gives my exactly 10 fps (slow, but I that's what I wanted).  Awhile 
back I tried doing the same with mencoder but was getting segmentation 
faults.  I should try again since there has been a few version upgrades.

HTH,
