What is a .DVF file?
The .DVF file extension stands for a Sony Digital Voice File. This type of file is a compressed audio format specifically created for use with Sony's IC digital audio recorders, like the models ICD-BP100 and ICD-BP150. The .DVF file is saved in a unique, proprietary format that can generally only be opened and used with specific Sony software.
To open a .DVF file, you can use the Sony Digital Voice Player, which is a program designed to play back these specific types of files. Additionally, if you have Microsoft Windows Media Player installed on your computer, you can also open .DVF files with it, but you will need to install a special plugin from Sony that allows Windows Media Player to recognize and play .DVF files.
If you need to use the audio from a .DVF file in a more common format, such as for editing or playing on other devices that do not support the .DVF format, you can convert it. Sony provides a tool called Digital Voice Editor which allows you to convert .DVF files into the standard .WAV audio format. This conversion makes it easier to use the audio in different applications or on different devices that support .WAV files but not the proprietary .DVF format.
