what is missing in this ffmpeg statement to create a working video conversion

Question

I want to convert videos to a format that my camera reads with ffmpeg.

I have some sample videos from the camera and analyzed them with

mplayer -frames 0 -identify DSCN0001.mov

and with

ffprobe DSCN0001.mov

Then I tried everything I could find in the documentation to create a video of the same type. My command was

ffmpeg -i movie.flv -vcodec mjpeg -b:v 2128296 -pix_fmt yuvj422p -r 15 -acodec pcm_u8 -ac 1 -ar 7875 -vf scale=320:240 DSCN0002.mov

But when I try to play the video with the camera, the camera tells me The file contains no image data (translated).

This is the diff from the ffprobe analysis

What I immediately noticed was

1. the ID_VIDEO_ASPECT of the mplayer analysis. The original video has 0.0000 and the fake one has 1.3889.
2. the original has 600 tbn, 600 tbc and the fake has 15 tbn, 15 tbc at ffmpeg analysis.
3. the fake has [SAR 25:24 DAR 25:18] where the original has nothing. This is probably the aspect ratio of the video.
4. And of course the different comments and the creation time and so on. I hope they are not important. I changed the NIKON DIGITAL CAMERA to something else in the original video with a hex editor and the video still played.

Any ideas how to improve my fake video?

Update

Another difference. I get the following with the file command. :-(

$ file DSCN0001.mov DSCN0002.mov
DSCN0001.mov:                  data
DSCN0002.mov:                  ISO Media, Apple QuickTime movie

The first video is the original one. The second is my ffmpeg creation.

Update 2

I’ve tried to just copy the input streams from the original file to a new file with, in my opinion, same container (mov).

ffmpeg -i DSCN0001.mov -c:v copy -c:a copy DSCN0005.mov

And file tells me for this copied video

DSCN0005.mov: ISO Media, Apple QuickTime movie

The new file was a bit smaller. Comparing them with a hex editor I saw, that they have different magic numbers. So I think this is a container problem, not a codec problem. The camera is a Nikon Coolpix. Maybe I should ask ffmpeg developers if this container format is supported. At least it is readable and playable by mplayer and ffmpeg.
