Recompressing an AVI File to a DV DV stands for Digital Video and has been defined in "Specification of Consumer-use Digital VCRs" (aka the Blue Book). Device for C++
The following code demonstrates how to recompress an AVI file to a DV device:

#include "resource.h"
#include <tchar.h>

// user defined message id used for conversion events
#define WM_CONVERTNOTIFY (WM_USER + 1000)
//
// ConvertDlgProc
// starts the conversion process and provides status feedback
//
// controls:
// IDC_CONVERTSTATUS - static control used for status messages
// IDC_CONVERTPROGRESS - static control used for conversion progress
// IDC_USERABORT - button control used to abort the conversion or exit the dialog
