Video for Windows provides simple encoding by means of binary video codecs. You can encode with the following codecs (if you have more, please tell us!)
Note that support for this is very experimental and some codecs may not work correctly. Some codecs will only work in certain colorspaces, try -vf format=bgr24 and -vf format=yuy2 if a codec fails or gives wrong output.

The first column contains the codec names that should be passed after the
codec
parameter, like: -xvfwopts codec=divx.dll
The FourCC code used by each codec is given in the parentheses.
An example with VP3 compression:
mencoder dvd://2 -o title2.avi -ovc vfw -xvfwopts codec=vp31vfw.dll -oac copy
