Motion JPEG was once the bain of my existence - the very first DSLR's to get video recorded in mjpeg (it was an afterthought tacked on - they had no idea it would revolutionise an industry). Many of the free decoders were quite crap and did not do a good job when you were trying to squeeze every last bit of detail out of a 720P mjpeg stream - there was one significantly better one which I am forgetting the name of now. It was paid but I got a hold of it eventually somehow (as a broke college student) through a friend or class. One plus of it however from what I remember is that the format would play on even the crappiest hardware performance wise
