Nov 13, 2014 at 9:29 comment added SirDarius @user1118321 most probably true, but if, as the OP says, there are "missing index" messages, it is probably corrupted or muxed incorrectly. Manually fixing the video using the technique described in my answer will not hurt. In truth, ffmpeg can set the PAR (aka SAR) as well as the DAR, but this involves using video filters, which do not allow the "copy" codec.
Nov 12, 2014 at 5:33 comment added user1118321 Most likely the video is 4:3 with non-square pixels. It sounds like it's interlaced DV-sized footage and each sample (field) is actually 720x240, which is normal standard def NTSC with a pixel (not picture) aspect ratio of 10/11ths. (See here for example.)
