Mencoder and H264 Question

[Maikeru-sama]

I have some questions regarding Mencoder and an H264 Video (inside of a Matraska Container). With Non-H264 MKV files, for the most part (if there is no need for re-encode), I always use Mencoder via the command line and do the following (please note this command line is something someone on this site was kind enough to help me with):

<COMMAND LINE>
mencoder input.mkv -o output.avi -aid 0 -mc 0 -ovc copy -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128:mode=0
</COMMAND LINE>

Now, when I try to do the above command line with H264 MKV files, the video will never work. So, I found a wonderful program called Super, that for the most part will handle H264 MKV files.

Now, as most of you know, Super uses Mencoder (if specified in the GUI). My question is what command line or command line arguments would I need to use with Mencoder to get it to copy H264 Videos out of the MKV so I wouldn't have to use Super?

I will monitor this thread for answers and also provide more information if needed.

It has to be vfw ready to stream copy into avi.
you'll probably have native avc in the mkv.

doing what with super?
stream copy? i think not.
re-encoding? more likely.
you can re-encode
with mencoder with something simple like:

mencoder input.mkv -o output.avi -mc 0 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts fixed_quant=5  -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128:mode=0

you can put the h264 video in an avi, if for some reason that's the objective (why?)
in two steps,
demux with mkvextract (mkvtoolnix) to an elementary .264 stream,
and run it through avc2avi.exe.

if you also have a variable frame rate to deal with,
that's another kind of headache
