Yes, I RTFM and searched on google for some examples
to help build a script.  Your page was very helpful.
Thanks.

I made the changes the people on the list suggested
and switched over to the lavcdeint deinterlacer.  I am
running some tests on a small sample now so I can
compare results.  Thank you to everyone who responded.

Here is my new script in case anyone can use it.

for file in $*
do
  mencoder -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=2200:pass=1
-vf lavcdeint -oac copy -o $file.x264.avi $file
  mencoder -ovc x264 -x264encopts
bitrate=2200:pass=2:8x8dct:i8x8 -vf lavcdeint -oac
copy -o $file.x264.avi $file
done

Again, thank you.
