Works fine here.

Apart from "wrong mailing list":
Didn't you test FFplay? Or MPlayer?
Or ffmpeg -i outffv1.avi out.mov?

This makes no sense, sorry.

As said, the only difference the two changes will 
make is that they allow to prove the losslessness 
with -f framecrc (and similar). They do not change 
the archive copies you could have made before.
(But I admit it was difficult to test if the archive 
copies are really lossless, this is what I usually 
request from the so-called "professional" archive 
solutions that apparently are never lossless but 
nobody requested this so far. In any case, the 
fixes were trivial.)
