..... So, with all these tools, there is something SERIOUSLY WRONG !
First of all, just because something look black at your screen doesn't mean that it is really black in the digital world. There are different level of compression for colour (YV12, YUY2 etc) and it is also possible that some noise are involved which might confuse MPlayer in what cropping value that will work best. Then it is possible that there is a logo or subtitle that is interfering with black vs film border. In other words, it is better to make sure that you crop the correct picture.

AVI container do have an overhead which might be part of the problem as MENcoder was designed to work with AVI containers from the very beginning and not MP4 or any other containers of today. That is why you will also see all this "junk" in target folder after MENcoder have first made sound and audio encoded material directly into an AVI container and then need to de-mux it into another container after transcoding are finished.

AVI overhead
