The problem you are having now is that you no longer included a bitrate
to encode at. Acidrip will automatically append
:bitrate=:pass=[1,2]
to make it work.
You also neglected the -x264encopts switch before the line of options
for the x264 encoder, which is why mencoder was unable to find the
It appears that the mencoder x264 options have changed since I wrote the
patch. The me=3 option has been replaced with me=umh. However, it
appears that using umh over hex has a negligible gain in encoding
quality anyway, so I would recommend deleting the me=3 bit in the

In fact,
Not anymore, it's been years since I used xvid. I'd suggest removing any
changes to the xvid code. I highly recommend that everyone switch to
x264 at this stage.
Additionally, the default setting for the x264 code should be changed as
the mencoder interface has changed. The recommended setting now
