Right. But I do not think avi files store the extradata for H.264; so I
suspect using "-flags global_header" with avi is an error (mp4, mov and
similar, instead, correctly handle the extradata).

BTW, you do not need "-flags global_header" with mp4 or mov too, because
such formats have the AVFMT_GLOBALHEADER flag set, so ffmpeg.c
automatically sets CODEC_FLAG_GLOBAL_HEADER if such output formats are
used (I do not know if this is mandated by the MP4 standard, or if it is
just an option...)
