[Mplayer-users] Troubles playing SonyDV-AVI

[Martin Schuster]

I use dvgrab to copy movies from my digital camcorder via firewire to
my hard disk.
dvgrab supports 2 (usable) output formats: "dv1" and "dv2".


When trying to play a dv1 with MPlayer, I get:

Playing dv2 gives sound, but only black video:

Windows MediaPlayer plays both videos, and reports them to be
"DV Video Decoder" files. (and thus using qdv.dll)

I'm running

codecs.conf contains:

 out BGR32,BGR24,BGR16,BGR15
(the hex numbers are the same as in the corresponding registry-entry in
Windows)      

Problem is the same when using -vo {sdl,xv,x11,gl,aa,ggi}
Other files play w/o problems (mpeg, divx, whatever)

I've put the first 256k of each file on the incoming-dir of mplayerhq.hu
(filenames test_dv1_head.avi and test_dv2_head.avi)

Any ideas?
