What is a DV file?
DV stands for Digital Video, a format developed for storing digital video on tape. It was widely used in consumer and professional camcorders in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
DV files offer high-quality, uncompressed video and are ideal for editing workflows. Today, they’re mainly found in archived footage or legacy editing systems.
How to open DV files
DV files can be opened using VLC, QuickTime, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro. They are often captured directly from tape-based camcorders.
You can convert DV to MP4 or MOV using AnyConv to reduce file size or ensure compatibility.
