It does create, but mencoder assigns it a strange "dvvi" fourcc, which
is not understood by most applications. You have to change this fourcc
to "dvsd" with "-ffourcc dvsd". Also, DV requires 1536 kbps PCM stereo
audio. 

But AFAIK this produces a DV Type 2 AVI.

By the way, does anybody know how to produce a RAW DV? With the lavf
muxer (format dv), I get always a floating point exception.
