This a Motion JPEG format. This is a capture format, not indended for 
video distribution, and windows users will need some additional codec to 
support it (although I assume that some massive codec packs, like 
"Nimo", will contain it). If you want to further distribute your video, 
MPEG4 encoding is preferred. (-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 etc.) Have a look 
at the thread entitled "encoding quality advices", you will find a lot 
of useful information there.

There is also a Windows utility, which can tell the user what codec will 
be needed to play a certain avi file, available at
