I have done more testing using divxenc on both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions of U12.04 and found that a very simple conversion job (taking only the defaults) fails on 64 bit and works fine on 32 bit.
The resulting mencoder command lines were identical. This clearly makes the problem fall on the 64 bit mencoder.
This clearly is a reproducible bug which needs to be fixed and not ignored. The following is a listing of the divxenc generated script. Let's get the mencoder people looking at this.
