[MPlayer-dev-eng] DV AVI handling in mplayer

[Arpi]

Hi,

no it is not codec problem.
it's a demuxer problme.
the 'type-1 dv' is actually not an avi file, just a raw dv stream fragmented
and encapsulated into a psuedo-avi something, all with non-standard
chunks...  so it requires big changes in teh avi demuxer.

it's on my todo since ages, but since it has so low priority i don't care.
