Transcode to another format first that keeps the timecode?

Ffmpeg's dvvideo implantation is unfortunately just broken and mangles timecodes, even if just doing a stream copy from dvvideo to dvvideo without any re-encoding.

Fortunately, dvgrab does allow you to take the original .dv file and generate a .srt subtitle track with time stamps that you can mux into your encoded files.
