AVI is the default format.

I really have no ide what it means. I tried including the -ni parameter
and the warning did not go away.

I realized that the problem is the -aid 128 command. mplayer determines
that -aid (audio channel source) should be 0, not 128 . Once I changed
that, the video was generated perfectly: AVI with MPEG4 divx video and
MP3 audio.

The mencoder command line that I used was generated by KVideoEncoder
program. I don't know why it generated -aid 128 parameter. 0 is MPEG
audio, 128 is AC3 . I am reporting to the author.
