[Mjpeg-users] (not) playing MJPEG files acquired under windows

[Jeroen H. R. <Jer...@be...>]

Hello,

 I have a few hours of video acquired with my DC10 card under windows 
98. I have no
problem playing them with mplayer. However, it is impossible to read 
them using
lavplay, since the avi file header does not appear to comply to the 
format lavplay
expects (being "RIFF" as the first four chars, "AVI "  as characters 9 
to 12, etc. Are
there multiple MJPEG formats around? How do I make my windows files usable
by lavrec? Is there a way (using avilib??) to convert the header, or 
something?

thanks beforehand,
Jeroen
