*’DV AVI’ is a type of ‘AVI file’ where the ‘video’ has been ‘compressed’ to conform with ‘DV standards’*
.
(“DV” –> ‘digital video’)
.
(there are 2 types of ‘DV-AVI’ files…)
.
*TYPE 1*
(the multiplexed ‘audio-video’ is kept in its original ‘multiplexing’ + saved together into the ‘video section’ of the ‘AVI file’)
(does not waste much space (‘audio’ is saved ‘uncompressed’, but even ‘uncompressed audio’ is tiny compared to the ‘video part’ of ‘DV’), but ‘windows applications’ based on the “VfW API” do not support it)
.
.
*TYPE 2*
(like ‘type 1’, but ‘audio’ is also saved as an additional ‘audio stream’ into the ‘file’)
(supported by ‘VfW applications’, at the price of a small increase in ‘file size’)
.
.
(“type 1” is actually the newer of the 2 types)
‘type 2’ –> ‘type 1’
(think ‘ad block plus’ –> ‘ad block’)
.
.
(‘microsoft’ made the “type” designations, and decided to name their older VfW-compatible version “type 2”, which only furthered confusion about the 2 types)
(in the ‘late 1990s’ through ‘early 2000s’, most ‘professional-level DV software’ (including ‘non-linear editing programs’) only supported ‘type 1’)
(one notable exception was ‘adobe premiere’, which only supported ‘type 2’)
(‘high-end FireWire controllers’ usually captured to ‘type 1’ only, while “consumer” level controllers usually captured to ‘type 2’ only)
(‘software’ is (and was) available for converting ‘type 1’ AVIs to ‘type 2’ (and vice versa), but this is a ‘time-consuming process’)
(many current “FireWire controllers” still only capture to one or the other ‘type’)
(however, almost all current ‘DV software’ supports both ‘type 1’ + ‘type 2’ ‘editing’ / ‘rendering’, including ‘adobe premiere’)
(thus, many of today’s users are unaware of the fact that there are 2 types of ‘DV AVI’ files)
.
(in any event, the debate continues as to which [‘type 1’ / ‘type 2’] – if either – is ‘better’)
