Hmm... I just tested mplayer-1.0pre3 and it worked fine with multiple 
PNG files: 

mencoder -mf w=640:h=480:fps=25:type=png -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=900:vqmin=2:vpass=0 -o f.avi mf://"f00*.png"

Also using "mpeg1video" instead of "mpeg4" and vpass=1/vpass=2 
two pass encoding. 

Everything seems to work now (no own patches applied).

Wolfgang
