There are better tools for muxing than MEncoder. I don't work with AVI
much as a final container so I can't really recommend anything specific.
Virtualdub comes to mind, but that may not work on Linux at all or I may
be confusing it with something else.

I think that message is harmless, but I'm not 100% sure.

IIRC, AVI files made by MEncoder don't function well as final
containers, except perhaps with common combinations like MPEG-4 video
(Part 2, not AVC) and MP3 audio. In any case, I'd recommend using
something other than MEncoder for pure muxing.
