[libdv-dev] weird dv format

[Arne S. <ar...@sc...>]

Please check out the file http://www.schirmacher.de/tmp/test001.avi . It 
displays correctly under Windows, but not using the libdv codec. It has 
been created with a PAL Panasonic NV-DX100, however the Windows mediaplayer 
says it is a NTSC file. The DIF Sequence Flag bit in the header is in fact 
zero. If I force this to one, then the display under Linux is ok.

Do you have any idea why the dv data seems to be inconsistent? Is there 
another way of discriminating between PAL and NTSC besides using the DSF 
bit? I have already seen this problem earlier, maybe we need a workaround 
allowing for broken camcorders.
