The file is supposed to be AVC-Intra, cannot be decoded with FFmpeg.

At least one output file must be specified

The file uses the AVin fourcc which seems to be a proprietary AVC-Intra format from Avid.
Do you have some tool that can losslessly convert this into more standard H.264/AVC-Intra?
It seems the PPS/SPS is missing, and guessing them doesn't seem realistic.
It would also already help if you can figure out whether the content is interlaced or not.
(since the timebase seems to be 1/30 interlaced should mean it is using MBAFF, which helps figuring out at least some SPS fields).

Possibly related to tickets #1294 and #1666.

Several samples have been fixed by a patch by Thomas Mundt and Reimar Döffinger.
I opened ticket #2106 for the remaining failing sample.
