problems opening AVI file downloaded from DV camera.

[petrosha@…]

Hello!

I've got one .avi file and could not play it with mplayer. It was telling me:
"Missing video stream!" or "AVI_NI: No video stream found." It is originaly made
by a DV camera. Searching for a solution I have found that it can be played with
"-demuxer 35" option and it realy helps. But in documentation it is written that
you now work on this type of files so I have decided to send you a bugreport.
Possibly it will help in your work.

Confirmed, thanks.

DV-in-AVI will probably never work with our native demuxer, but the fallback to
libavformat is now automatic.
