Yes, it will work properly without any fiddling on 90% of the things you are likely to throw at it. Bizarrely, there are a few kinds of things that it fails utterly at, all of which can be done by using Transcode with -x mplayer. Transcode with -x mplayer is the most general solution, once you understand the filters that are used for framerate converison. Note that mplayer and mencoder are almost unrelated codebases, even though they are shipped together.
