Some things I notice after some short usage:
- Your context tool tips disappear fairly quickly and some of them are long. There is no way I can read some of them before they disappear.
- The Context tooltip for the area you drag a file to has a grammar issue. I presume it should read "Add this job's settings.??" instead of "Add this job settings.??"
- The command line in the debug tab shows an extra slash in my output path when I select a custom output directory.
I tried encoding your Shattered Dreams video again using the phone profile but it again failed, though more gracefully than in the past.
Here is a screen shot of the log with the error that is displaying in the status bar. The error in the status bar I presume is because AMVbe is attempting to access a file that didn't get generated properly by mencoder. (You can see where the extra slash in the path is in the status bar also.)

Using the generated command line via the command prompt failed as well. In this case mencoder visibly crashed.
Here is the output from the prompt:

My batch file encoder handles your Shattered Dreams video fine, however I'm using the mplayer builds from the mplayer site rather than building my own custom executable and am performing the following steps rather than outputting straight from mencoder:
Encode video track to raw .264 using mencoder.exe
Extract audio to .wav via mplayer.exe
Encode wav to aac using neroaacenc.exe
Mux .264 and .aac files using mp4box.exe
I generated an md5 hash of the file I have, re-downloaded the file from the org and created an md5 hash from that as well. Both hashes match so version I have of Shattered dreams is identical to the file on local. The MD5 hash for both files is cca0c4ac44d760d9df2f8375cf7f4675 in case you try to verify that you are using the same file I am.
Edit: I tried using the mencoder.exe that I bundle with my encoder using the command line generated by AMVbe and mencoder failed and crashed as it did earlier when I ran the command above using the mencoder.exe that you provide.
