mplayer detectes MPEG-PES wrongly

[lqy]

Hi,

I'm capturing DV from my camera with dvgrab, e.g.
dvgrab -a -f raw

When I play it back with mplayer it is usually fine, but for some shots mplayer detects MPEG-PES and then falls over as it can't find the start. I'm trying to force mplayer to use a dv codec but MPEG-PES seems to take priority.

Anyone know how to force mplayer to use only a specific codec ?

Wow, a lot of serious searching and finally I found an answer, use -demuxer rawdv. See this message (http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2006-March/059106.html) in the mplayer bug mailing list.
