I tried many different audio and video codecs supported in mplayer's mencoder, and have come up with the following that provide good quality viewing under Windows Media Player (and mplayer, of course).
Strangely, I could not get MP3 audio to work on Windows. I made a Divx4 stream from a recording, and the Divx4 codec could not play the MP3 sound. This may be related to the codec, though.
This worked:
mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq -oac pcm -o ct.avi 001.vdr
Neither copy nor mp3lame worked. This resulted in an unnecessarily large Divx4 file :-(
