There was a discussion about this on the list some time ago:

I have made a small bash script for transcoding a video to MJPEG without
sound, you can find it on Github:

https://github.com/residuum/Bash-Scripts/blob/master/mencmjpeg

Usage: ./mencmjpeg original_video new_video
Or: ./mencmjpeg original_video

Hth,
Thomas
