8.7.2 DV
DV, or raw digital video format, is an uncompressed video
file format that is commonly used in consumer digital
camcorders and professional recording equipment.
The advantages of this format are:
Cross-platform format.
Very easy to edit, cut and composite video.
Can be converted to almost any distribution format
such as DVD or DivX.
The disadvantages of this format are:
File sizes are very large.
Not suited for distribution.
Editing software can be expensive and difficult
to learn.
Converting to DV format
You can convert to DV format in two ways: analog or
digital. To make an analog conversion you need video
recording equipment with analog video inputs that has the
ability to record to DV.
To make a digital conversion you need to copy your video
files to you computer and use conversion software to
create a DV version of your video file. Both Super C and
ffmpegX can convert P350 video files to DV format.
NOTE: DV video files are up to 10 times the size of
compressed video formats. Ensure you have sufficient
hard-drive space before you attempt to convert to DV
format.

The DV format is widely supported on many consumer
and professional non-linear digital video editing software.
