What is the Digital Video (DV) format?

Digital Video is the preferred file format for high quality video, usually captured via a digital video camera. It is a super high-resolution format that exceeds the quality of S-VHS. The images are crisp, bright and have excellent depth and contrast. The information is stored on the video tape in digital form, so it can be copied over and over without any loss.

The DV standard defines all aspects of the so called "DV" or Digital Video camcorders, including tape recording format and form factor, video compression algorithms and also digital data transmissions.

What are the benefits of Digital Video?

A digital video camera actually puts professional video capabilities into the hands of just about everyone. Transferring your video to your notebook is made extremely simple, as is the actual editing of the video, thanks to specific software applications.
