What file formats does DTE support?
DTE supports the most popular NLE file formats in todays market. These include; AVI type 1 & 2, QuickTime, Raw DV and OMF for Avid. There are also special versions of AVI that support Canopus and Matrox. What the Focus FS DTE Recorder basically does, is take a raw stream of DV video from a source and packages it into a file format that a DV NLE system can understand. The streams are packaged into individual files with header information that can be used in various DV NLE systems. The file formats are user selectable and can be either Raw DV (.dv), AVI Type 1, AVI Type 2 or AVI Type 2C (specifically for Canopus DVStorm and DV Raptor users), Matrox AVI, QuickTime (.mov) or Avid DV OMF.
