Unfortunately, that didn't work either.
The output is empty, I don't get a message, and I definitely don't get a
converted file.

You can do something like this:
pid = os.fork()
if pid != 0:
os.execl("mencoder variables here and its arguments")
else:
continue
exec will replace the current child process with the given command and as
we are doing fork the command will get executed in a child process.You can
also use os.system there
