I haven't tested this:  Have you tried the '-quiet' option?

>From the mencoder manpage:

  -quiet
        Make  console  output  less verbose; in particular, prevents the
        status line (i.e. A:   0.7 V:   0.6 A-V:  0.068 ...) from  being
        displayed.  Particularly useful on slow terminals or broken ones
        which do not properly handle carriage return (i.e. \r).
