Update, I've gotten a format playable in windows by:

mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -oac copy source.avi -o
test.avi

Winamp3 and DivX player can play the file, but windows media player
cannot, which is probably a windows media player problem... Next I need
to figure how to set the aspect ratio so my 480x480 files look right
with having to setting the aspect ratio in the player. Then maybe get a
SVCD burnt....
