[MPlayer-advusers] .dv file being identified as MPEG-TS

[Michael Moore]

Mencoder is identifying some of my .dv files as MPEG-TS instead of dvvideo.

I am using mencoder built from SVN-r34371-4.5.2 on December 2, 2011. I
complied it using
./configure --confdir=/etc/mplayer --codecsdir=/usr/local/lib/codecs
--enable-debug=3

Someone else had a similar problem back in 2006 :
http://www.itdp.de/mplayer-users/2006-03/msg00467.html

I can force it to treat it as dvvideo with: mencoder -v -demuxer lavf
-o - not_mpeg_ts_short.dv

I have uploaded a sample clip to
ftp://upload.mplayerhq.hu/incoming/not_mpeg_ts_short.dv and full debug
information at ftp://upload.mplayerhq.hu/incoming/not_mpeg_ts_short.txt

I can provide the full 6.6G file if needed.

I also have a copy of it on my site here:
http://stuporglue.org/downloads/not_mpeg_ts_short.dv and here:
http://stuporglue.org/downloads/not_mpeg_ts_short.txt
