OK, uploading in progress, its size is 96MB, and interestingly enough,
with low sizes (4MB, 8MB for instance), it starts being primarily
detected as MPEG, and there is a complain about missing video stream,
and _fails back to lavf demuxer_. Also, from 16MB, it detects it as
MPEG-PS, and complaining about mising audio stream.
I've put the 96MB file because it's the smaller which shows the exact
error as the complete file.
