dumpstream does not work here. As far as I understand, dumpstream works 
with MPEG2 files only (which DivX is not). When used with MPEG2 files 
(e.g. from a SVCD), genindes didn't work.

I've had success with the following command: (all in one line)

mencoder file.avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=2500:mbd=2:acodec=mp2:abitrate=192 -vf 
scale=480:576 -of mpeg -ofps 25 -o 001.vdr

maybe you have to add an 'aspect' option, too.
