Good news. I'm not very familiar with FFMPEG, but I was able to convert the file to a DV in an AVI container using MEncoder and it plays in CInelerra fine.

Here are the options I used:

mencoder -fps 29.97 -of avi -oac pcm -ovc copy hearts_open2 -o hearts_open2.avi

hearts_open2 is the input file. hearts_open2 is the output file.

  Pretty much.

  More than you would want to know, I am afraid.  But I don't know
much about the intricacies and incompabilities of various software
that outputs DV in a Quicktime container.

  You said MPlayer handled it.  That would suggest that ffmpeg can
parse it.  If so, you can try streamcopying the DV to a new Quicktime
file, or an AVI file, or even a raw DV (containerless) file.  This is
lossless, and might strip off or fix the offending quirks that make
Cinelerra skip frames.  That is if the stream is OK, but the container
causes problems.  It may not help at all; I'm pretty much at a loss...
