 First, thanks for giving this your attention!

 The card(s) provide on a frame basis, the concatenation was done by
 writing each frame successively to a file.  I think the confusion comes
 from the fact that I am using these cards under Linux, thus the
 accompanied software is either non-existent or leaves much to be
 desired...  I imagine the software that accompanies these cards on Windows
 or Mac produce the contained samples in .mov etc.

 the stream you uploaded?

 I doubt that QuickTime supports any RAW/uncontained formats, but like I
 said, I'm on Linux :)

 > The v210 decoder expects exactly the format you uploaded (you can test
 by changing the frame size in the rawvideo demuxer to the value you posted
 originally), but FFmpeg has no demuxer for it. The reason is that so far
 only v210 in mov was provided.

 v210 specification (that is implemented and works fine afaict), but the
 way the frames are just concatenated (instead of either provided in a real
 container like avi and mov or as single frames).

 I suppose that I was expecting it to function the same way as providing a
 concatenated sequence of UYVY pixels only 8-bit 4:2:2 (-s 1920x1080 -f
 rawvideo -pix_fmt uyvy422 -i input.yuv -vcodec copy output.avi)
 respectively (-s 1920x1080 -f rawvideo -pix_fmt v210 -i input.yuv -vcodec
 copy output.avi).  The important thing here is to avoid losing bit
 resolution, worst case should be to represent the 10 bits in 16 bit space.
