First, let’s view DV. Digital Video (DV) is a digital video format launched in 1996, has become a standard for home and semi-professional video production, even used for professional purposes as well, such as filmmaking and electronic news gathering (ENG). The DV specification defines both the codec and the tape format. DV features good video quality, especially compared to earlier consumer analog formats such as Video8, Hi8 and VHS-C. What’s more, DV now enables filmmakers to produce movies inexpensively.
