 That may be so, but the beauty of ffmpeg is that it can usually handle
 these situations. And an example was attached so that devs can figure out
 how exactly to handle this since playback works fine. A warning message
 would be nice, but if processing can still occur that would be ideal.
 Sometimes you just want to get it away from the avi format and into
 something else that doesn't have errors.
