Are you sure the original just wasn't poorly encoded? I don't have
any experience with h.264 per se, but my general rule of thumb is that
if two completely independent processes give the same (bad) result,
it's probably the source that's the problem.

As far as I can tell, mencoder doesn't do any real-time anything,
given that it works in multiple passes as a rule, even by the
(probably intentionally) lax definition of "real-time" you're using.
Are you sure the source is good?
