As others have explained, the desktop is a fundamentally different
source than a webcam.

mencoder does not support capturing the desktop. You may manage to tweak
it to enable libavdevice, but it is completely unsupported, and you
would have it easier using ffmpeg directly. Anyway, nowadays, using
mencoder is not recommended except for DVDs.
