Hi Damjan, see these threads:

Essentially, I had the same problem with a JVC GRDVL28 (PAL), and it is
considered to be a bug with JVC's DV implimentation, not libdv.
I ended up ripping DV with:
dvgrab --format raw
or
cat /dev/dv1384 > raw.dv #press play on dv camera
#stop when finished and CTRL-C
(using appropriate device name for your kernel)
I have an Athlon XP 3000, and didn't have any problem with the output of
these error lines, but when playing back I found minor audio sync
issues. I experimented with decoding the raw DV using ffmpeg's DV
decoder to see if handled it any differently, but didn't have time to
find a conclusive result.
