The problem is bash related.

lame.exe invocation or mencoder.exe (probably arg parsing) also fails 
with a 1.5.15s-20050413 and latest bash-2.05b.0(1)-release (2.05b-17), 
but I haven't found time to debug it.
Reproduced with cygwin-1.5.15 release also.

Passing the same cmdlines to cmd.exe or within cygwin tcsh or zsh do 
work fine. With the previous bash also.
