What is a DVF file?

DVF files mostly belong to Sound Organizer by Sony. A DVF file contains an audio recording captured with digital recorders Sony's IC recorders product line. Audio content stored in this DVF file is recorded at 16kps (SP mode) or 8kbps (LP mode). It is encoded using a variant of FLAC audio coding format and lossless audio compression standard. The high compression rate of DVF files results in smaller file sizes which is suitable for the small storage capacity of digital recorders. You can play a DVF recording directly on a digital recorder such as the ICD-BP100 or a Sony audio playback software such as Digital Voice Editor or Sound Organizer. Sony Player version 1.2 also allowed users to play DVF recordings in Media Player. DVF is also the filename extension of video recordings captured with Panasonic NV-DS77 camcorder. You can play a DVF video file with MotionDV Studio.
