Would not help you much if you want a general-purpose decode.
Most real-world DV files do not match the standard even remotely.

Real-world samples files are at
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/DV-raw/
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/DVSD/
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/archive/extension/dv/
and possibly some other locations.
