Thanks Ica77,
I was wrong: the 0.3 version is indeed based on the earlier version of mencoder. I've replaced the mencoder in the distribution of 0.55 by the mencoder version from 0.3, which is dated August 2006. The issues with MP2 are indeed resolved. The issue with the resolution persists.
Mencoder wrongly reads the source aspect ratio of many VOB and MKV files.
I think that Lokster can resolve the problem adding the option of resizing without preserving the ratio. The new exact size is to be custom. That option works fine with CloneDVD Mobile, though it is also based on Mencoder and fails in evaluating the right aspect ratio.
As for the MP2 bug, I suspect that the codec configuration file is outdated. At least it is what appears in the Mencoder window when the new version of mencoder is used. Moreover, GOM player reads the output file with good sound, while other players are silent. GOM player is based on Mplayer, the mencoder brother, and comes with its own codecs.
