Very similar setup to my own (although I upgraded to Gutsy a couple of weeks ago). Using Ubuntu's standard mencoder, I get:

Code:
andrew@serenity:~/Pending$ mencoder 
MEncoder 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ (Family: 15, Model: 75, Stepping: 2)
CPUflags: Type: 15 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1
Compiled with runtime CPU detection.
No file given

Exiting... (error parsing command line)
andrew@serenity:~/Pending$ uname -a
Linux serenity 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Could you send me the original files? If they're too big, a command like the following should be sufficient:

Code:
dd if=theOriginal.avi of=cutDownVersion.avi bs=1M count=4
That should give you the first 4MB of "theOriginal.avi" in "cutDownVersion.avi" which should be plenty to help diagnose the problem.

Thanks for your help in getting to the bottom of this.

Cheers,

Andrew
