iam curious about that too as well as in what created it

in h.263 such 0 values can lead to start code emulation, they are thus not
valid.
the flv spec i have which might not be the latest does not hint at any change
of dc coding
flv ver2 does replace the ac escape coding with a different one but it does
also explicitly list 0 as forbidden in the new table

btw, you did not mention it but does the file play correctly with your patch?
