Record incoming mjpeg stream?

I have a incoming mjpeg stream from an IP cam. Now I can show it using ffmpeg and openGL, but when I tried to save all the incoming streams into a file and play it later, the player(VLC) fails to open the file.

I was told I need to add some header when I start/stop the recording to let the player know the file's format. But I could not find any reference on this topic. Could anyone share a example on this topic?
