Cannot open DV file while VLC can

[Rich]

Summary of the bug:
How to reproduce:

$ ffmpeg -i somefile.dv
...
[dv @ 0x124e680] Can't determine profile of DV input stream.

VLC and totem play this file fine. FFMPEG says it can't detect the format. A file produced exactly the same way has the following format:

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

I cannot attach the file in question because it is several gig big. If there's any way I can do this without sending whole file (e.g. send first 20Mb or something) let me know.

See ​http://ffmpeg.org/bugreports.html on how to submit sample media.

Your bug report misses a bit of information though:

• Please try this with a ​recent static build of ffmpeg. Yours is a little outdated.
• Please include the full, uncut ffmpeg output from ffmpeg -i input.dv – do not truncate anything.

Thank you.
