Shouldn't this be "video/DV" or "video/dv" instead of "video/x-dv"? MIME type "video/DV" is registered in IANA, see the RFC of the registration:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6469.html

As we understand, MIME types with "x-" prefix should be avoided:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6838.html#section-3.4 (last paragraph of section 3.4)

which refers to:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6648.html
