What is a .DV file?
DV files are digital video files that store video and audio recorded in the DV (Digital Video) format, a standard widely used by digital camcorders in the late 1990s and 2000s. The format stores video data using intraframe compression, which preserves consistent quality and makes DV files well-suited for editing and frame-accurate playback. DV files typically contain standard-definition video, synchronized audio, and timecode data.
You may encounter DV files when transferring footage from older digital camcorders, working with archived home videos, or opening projects created in legacy video editing software. DV was commonly used for home movies, educational recordings, and early professional video work. File Viewer Plus lets you play DV files and convert them to MP4 at different resolutions and bitrates for easier sharing and playback on modern devices.
