- Description
- The WTV (Windows Recorded TV Show) file format is used by Microsoft's Windows Media Center to store TV recordings. Introduced with Windows 7 as a successor to the earlier DVR-MS format used by Windows XP Media Center Edition, WTV files allow users to record live television broadcasts or schedule recordings directly through their computers equipped with a compatible TV tuner card. These files encapsulate both the video and audio streams, along with metadata such as broadcast information and closed captions.
- DCX file is a multi-page image file developed by raster file or bitmap file formats. It is generated fro PCX files, so it has a small header that shows the .dcx then a sequence of .pcx data. Popularly used by applications to create and send multi-page fax files.
