Yes. It's one of those "multipart jpeg" files. It should be trivial to extract the individual images. Just parse the "Content-length:" fields.

Your mencoder command just extracts the JPEGs and puts them into an AVI container. The container is now AVI, but the video is still (M)JPEG. The distinction between JPEG and MJPEG is somewhat blurred at least as far as AVI is concerned. So simply packing JPEG files into an AVI makes the decoder think it's MJPEG. > although i don't know what the mjpeg header should look like. There is no standard MJPEG fileformat. There are some formats, which carry MJPEG data like SMJPEG or the multipart JPEG you have (and some others mainly used for Computer games). And AVI and Quicktime of course.
