Comment (by noah):

 Per the suggestion in the linked thread, I did three more tests (default
 with `AVSTREAM_PARSE_HEADERS`, `AVSTREAM_PARSE_FULL_ONCE` and
 `AVSTREAM_PARSE_FULL`) with two different containers (.mov and .nut) and a
 more recent code base.

 I can confirm that the more recent code produce the same results as
 previously reported.

 I've uploaded the resulting files to upload.ffmpeg.org with the following
 names:
 {{{
 $ ls -1rt |xargs du -sk
 9944    ffmpeg-headers.mov
 80      ffmpeg-20150722-222055-headers.mov.log
 7752    ffmpeg-full-once.mov
 48      ffmpeg-20150722-222152-full-once.mov.log
 6980    ffmpeg-full.mov
 44      ffmpeg-20150722-222221-full.mov.log
 4       ffmpeg-headers.nut
 16      ffmpeg-20150722-222554-headers.nut.log
 6580    ffmpeg-full.nut
 40      ffmpeg-20150722-222605-full.nut.log
 6716    ffmpeg-full-once.nut
 40      ffmpeg-20150722-222620-full-once.nut.log
 }}}

 (I'm sorry I didn't think of including the ticket ID in the filenames
 before they were uploaded..)

 Usage of either `AVSTREAM_PARSE_FULL_ONCE` or `AVSTREAM_PARSE_FULL` when
 capturing in `libavdevice/v4l2.c` appears to produce at least .mov files
 that play nicely with Quicktime Player (OSX 10.10) and VLC (v2.2.1).

 When attempting to play the the file which was captured with
 `AVSTREAM_PARSE_HEADERS` (as is the default in git master) in Quicktime
 Player, the playback won't start even if I hit the play button.  If I
 manually seek into the middle of the file and start playing from there,
 all I get is a black screen.
