If you really want to get an .avi file then your best
codec should not be meg1video. you could use
msmpeg4v2.
or modify your command to something like this one
(from the documentation)

mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts format=xvcd "mf://*.jpg"
-mf type=jpg:fps=10 -o mov.mpg -ovc lavc 
-lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg1video:keyint=15:vrc_buf_size=327:vrc_minrate=1152:vbitrate=1152:vrc_maxrate=1152
-ofps 25 vcodec=mpeg1video -nosound

or you just produce an avi file with 

mencoder "mf://*.jpg" -mf type=jpg:fps=10 -o mov.avi
 -ovc lavc -lavcopts 
 vcodec=msmpeg4v2:mbd=2:..etc...   -nosound
