It basically works the way it is atm with Quicktime player and FCP,
thanks to the fourcc I guess.

Goal here is to make ffmpeg detect colorspace correctly. I don't know
the layout of the frame out of dv encoder, but setting correctly apt
will do the trick. There is an hack for 422 colorspace already.

Is apt flag in the frame ? I guess yes, since frame size is correct DV
frame size, and since 422 colorspace if properly detected, I guess
headers are somewhat correct.
