You can set both passes to be performed as batch jobs...but that's another topic for another forum...sorry but I have to stop here.

I have looked through the Mencoder docs and I don't see any way of specifying the resize algorithm. Maybe I missed it, but I really did look. Maybe it's called something else? Ok, I looked again and found it under "scale", which says also see -sws... it's pretty ambiguous to me; doesn't make much sense.
As much as I understand precise bicubic is the default video filter used by mencoder:
2 bicubic (good quality) (default)
so you don't have to worry anymore. BTW, I always use lanczos in Vdub...
Best regards.
