The relevant point here is that FFmpeg indicates it is a mjpeg file.

Yes.

mjpeg files do not have a specified fps value / it is not 
specified how fast they should be played, you have to use 
the input parameter -r:
$ ffmpeg -r 10 -i input.m4v -vcodec copy out.avi

Please do not use screenshots on this mailing list, copy 
the console output into your email.
