Bug#785690: libav-tools: avprobe fail on file with colon in the name

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: libav-tools
Version: 6:0.8.17-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The avprobe and ffprobe tool fail to open a file with colon in the file
name.  Here is an example:

% ffprobe makercon-2014-10-18T16:22:35.dv
avprobe version 0.8.17-6:0.8.17-1, Copyright (c) 2007-2014 the Libav developers
  built on Mar 15 2015 17:00:31 with gcc 4.7.2
makercon-2014-10-18T16:22:35.dv: No such file or directory
%

File names without colons do not cause this problem.  Can the tool be
changed to handle file names with colon in them?
