Maybe the following information is nothing to do with MEncoder or ffmpeg, but it does introduce a useful method to convert MOV to AVI: http://www.faasoft.com/articles/mov-to-avi.html

I think it may help people who just want to convert MOV to AVI, MP4, FLV, etc with easy steps and fast conversion speed.

Actually, there are many online apps can do the video conversion for you, such as zamzar, Acethinker Video Converter, mediaconverter, etc. They are totally free, and you don't have to download or install anything.
