This is a bit unclear regarding "various compressed formats", don't you
agree? That said, this page isn't much clearer:

Back to on-topic: From what I understand, so-called "uncompressed AVI"
contains raw video. I have found these pointers:

And you can probably replace "-acodec whatever" with "-an" for an image
processing program. ;-)

(Can PNG actually be packed into AVI? Wow.)
