It would be better if no extra codecs were needed. If I need an extra
codec then DivX would be preferred. Thank you for the suggestion.

Why does Windows Media Player need extra codecs to play these MJPEGs? It
can play other MJPEGs, but not those created with mencoder. Is there
more than one MJPEG standard?

Maybe it's an issue with libavcodec - is there a list for libavcodec
problems?
