There is indeed a difference between the two lines (edited for readability)
Before (works):

mencoder -ss 0 -quiet Sintel.2010.1080p.mkv -quiet -quiet -oac copy -of mpeg -quiet -quiet
-mpegopts format=mpeg2:muxrate=500000:vbuf_size=1194:abuf_size=64 -ovc lavc -channels 6
-lavdopts debug=0:threads=8
-lavcopts autoaspect=1:vcodec=mpeg2video:acodec=ac3:abitrate=640:threads=8:vrc_maxrate=54000:vrc_buf_size=7000

-ass -nofontconfig
-subfont /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/lib/fonts/LucidaSansRegular.ttf
-ass-color ffffff00 -ass-border-color 00000000 -ass-font-scale 1.0
-ass-force-style FontName=Arial,Outline=1,Shadow=1,MarginV=10

-quiet -quiet -sid 100 -quiet -quiet -ofps 24 -sub Sintel.2010.1080p.srt -utf8 -mc 0 -noskip
-af lavcresample=48000 -srate 48000 -o - -really-quiet -msglevel statusline=2

After (doesn't work):

mencoder -ss 0 -quiet Sintel.2010.1080p.mkv -quiet -quiet -oac copy -of mpeg -quiet -quiet
-mpegopts format=mpeg2:muxrate=500000:vbuf_size=1194:abuf_size=64 -ovc lavc -channels 6
-lavdopts debug=0:threads=8
-lavcopts autoaspect=1:vcodec=mpeg2video:acodec=ac3:abitrate=640:threads=8:vrc_maxrate=54000:vrc_buf_size=7000

-ass
-ass-color ffffff00 -ass-border-color 00000000 -ass-font-scale 1.0
-ass-force-style FontName=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/lib/fonts/LucidaSansRegular.ttf,Outline=1,Shadow=1,MarginV=10
-nofontconfig

-quiet -quiet -sid 100 -quiet -quiet -ofps 24 -sub Sintel.2010.1080p.srt -utf8 -mc 0 -noskip
-af lavcresample=48000 -srate 48000 -o - -really-quiet -msglevel statusline=2

I have singled out the different bits. Looks like the `-ass-force-style` uses a different font name and the `-subfont` is gone.
