Asking the source of these files (VirtualDub) to stop creating them is one option. Otherwise we'll be adding a similar tag to support h266 in avi five years from now because people refuse to do things right. Alternatively, actually start using avfmtctx->strict_std_compliance on demuxers and refuse to handle these files unless it's set as unofficial or lower, but i predict a lot of people will come out of the woodworks complaining about their broken samples suddenly not working anymore because ffmpeg started to honor its own standard compliance settings. > >> Why the hell is the avi demuxer even looking at mov tags to begin with? > > Because every other software except FFmpeg writes such files.
