[FFmpeg-user] Converting DVCPRO in AVI wrapper to .dv, missing audio stream

Thanks, of course! My predecessor was known for changing MOV to AVI, ashamed I forgot.

But I’ve had sound DV files come through as silent on playback once converted? Twitter help suggested it might be the linear timecode / sync track that’s coming through.

Not to matter though, I’ve opted to rename MOV, so thanks for that wise suggestion.

Thaaaanks!
