I thought the option "-c:v rawvideo" was the way to go because it's used to generate an uncompressed avi file: $ ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v rawvideo out.avi
For the older simpler file formats, where only a rather small set of supported image format configurations were available, this kind of handling may indeed have worked sufficient. But even under this rather limited circumstances, you always had to take care of the actually used pixel format and very often set/correct/enforce it explicitly.
In principle you could adapt such a combination of -c:v rawvideo and -pix_fmt for this kind of mp4 content as well, but I doubt that it will work satisfactorily in practice. The range of possible configuration variants is huge and not all of them correspond in a strict one-to-one relation already defined ffmpeg pixel formats.
A more format specific video codec specifier (= -c:v ...) and suitable options for all the format specific export configuration parameters looks much more useful to me -- but I may be wrong.
