Oooh, silly me! The problem seems to be solved. (Just by trying the quick test above. Let's see, if the whole video really works., though.) Embarassing that I got the idea just now. I am very sorry.
In case you are interested: The problem was that I forgot to finalize the DVD-RW disc after recording. Since the camcorder was borrowed, I did not have access to it to finalize the disc later. Therefore, I copied the raw disc to an image file and ran photorec. It recovered MPG files which I joined with the ffmpeg concat demuxer and transcoded (with some filters applied) to x264. However, some timing information seems to have been lost during the process. I now tried: tail -c +NNNN Camcorder.img | ffmpeg -i - -vf morestuff test.mp4 The aforementioned test does not fail anymore.
