I would think it can. It works great with .AVI's made from .nuvs by
simply using -ovc copy -oac copy. This does probably have some headers
though and I've not tried without them...

Great. I don't think mencoder can take two inputs, though, but it may be
able to splice two raw streams to a DivX in the end...? I guess it all
depends on how video/audio 'look' in raw mode...
