What makes you think you created a MOV file? The above command created an
AVI file with MPEG-4 ASP video and Ogg audio. The fact that you named it
done.mov doesn't make it a MOV file. MEncoder warns about that. FFmpeg
shows you that. Additionally, the file is broken, because AFAIR there's no
standard way to store Ogg in AVI.
