I don't know what mencoder creates, but the problem seems for me to be 
in mencoder.

When I export a file with lives, with the option you show in the image. 
I can't play it back. mplayer prints out that information:
AVI file format detected.
[aviheader] Video stream found, -vid 0
[aviheader] Audio stream found, -aid 1
VIDEO:  [IJPG]  720x576  24bpp  25.000 fps  7992.5 kbps (975.6 kbyte/s)
Clip info:
  Software: MEncoder 1.0rc2-4.3
---END---

Playing back a mjpeg file that works with the mjpetools gets me that 
information:
VI file format detected.
[aviheader] Video stream found, -vid 0
[aviheader] Audio stream found, -aid 1
VIDEO:  [MJPG]  720x576  24bpp  25.000 fps  18607.2 kbps (2271.4 kbyte/s)
---END---

When you record from a box like the ADVC-100 with kino, you might also 
se here DVSD. You find information about the fourcc here:

The decoder are not the important lines.
Look for the lines I have posted above.

I use live 1.0.5, mplayer 1.0rc2-4.3 and mjpegtools 1.9.0

Seems so.

For me it seems that mencoder creates a mjpeg encoded AVI. But there are 
several versions. I have taken a look at mencoder but didn't find any 
hint to create a mjpeg encoded file the mjpegtools understand.

When I have a video format the mjpegtools don't understand I use mplayer 
  -vo as input:
 >mkfifo stream.yuv
 >cat stream.yuv | yuv2lav -o mjpeg_wo.avi &
 >mplayer -nosound -noframedrop -vo yuv4mpeg anyfile.mpg
 >mplayer -vo null -ao pcm:file=anyfile.wav anyfile.mpg

auf hoffentlich bald,
