These are the file extensions that NLE systems use to recognize the video file, these include .omf for Avid, .avi for premiere, .mov for QuickTime. The file remains as native DV with all the inherent quality, it is now accessible by the computer. Any video professional knows not all NLE systems use the same DV based file format. The unique ability of DTE Technology to record in NLE native file format such as DV OMF for Avid Xpress DV, QuickTime for Apple Final Cut and AVI 2 for Adobe Premiere, means footage is identical to the format your NLE captures in. This means clips can be used directly in the NLE’s timeline without having to transfer or convert files before use. When connected to a Mac or PC-based DV NLE system, a drive with DTE recorded clips will appear on the desktop, and the clips can be dragged straight to the NLE’s timeline. No capturing, no file transfer, no file conversion, no connection hassles. You’ll be editing seconds after you have finished shooting.
