I have a DV capture which for some reason is broken. By broken I mean that avconv/ffmpeg/avidemux won't open it, although totem and VLC will open it.
I suppose there's something corrupt/wrong at the start of the file.
I need to use avconv/ffmpeg on the file. Currently it says:
[dv @ 0x124e680] Can't determine profile of DV input stream.
The capture was done from the same device as another file, i.e. the following info from another file is probably the info that's corrupt/missing in the broken one:
Input #0, dv, from 'capture004.dv':
Metadata:
timecode : 00:00:02:16
Duration: 01:00:44.16, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 28800 kb/s
Stream #0:0: Video: dvvideo, yuv420p, 720x576 [SAR 16:15 DAR 4:3],
28800 kb/s, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc
Stream #0:1: Audio: pcm_s16le, 32000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 1024 kb/s
Stream #0:2: Audio: pcm_s16le, 32000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 1024 kb/s
Is there any way I can fix the broken one?

If ffmpeg does not play it when VLC can, filing a bug report similar to this one would be good.

I left you a comment on how to improve your bug report. Please remember to always include your full command line when asking for help with a command or file—also here on Super User. Truncating doesn't achieve much and requires others ask you for build details or ffmpeg version information. – slhck – 2014-01-23T11:35:41.640
Ah, yep, later version of ffmpeg will open it. Must have been a bug. I was previously using the latest version available from ppa at https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ffmpeg

If an FFmpeg developer sees it they will probably just close it as not reproducible. – slhck – 2014-01-23T14:13:00.180
