[linux-dvb] Converting TS file to DVD format

I have been using mencoder like this with very good results:

cat 00*.vdr|pes2ts2 100 101|ts2ps 100 101|mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts
format=dvd:vbitrate=9000 -o /home/video/$1.mpg -oac copy -ovc copy -

> vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=5000:keyint=18:mbd=2:aspect=16/9:vpass=1 -vf
> scale=720:-10,expand=720:480

When I attempt this next command line with "mpeg2video", i get an error saying
missing "mpeg2video" codec.  But, I know I have the codec installed.  Am I doing
something wrong with the second command?
