HOLD SWITCH MOD About File Formats Talk and the Datexx DV8 digital recorder records the sounds in a special compressed machine language that makes the voice files small and manageable. It’s a brand new compression technology, developed by the Datexx R & D team, specifically for the DV8. During the process that transfers the DV8 files to your computer, the software will automatically convert these files into MP3 or WAV formatted files. This allows you to send the recordings via Email using our special Email software (included). You may elect to send the file as a .WAV file or in the popular MP3 file format. It works for the PC users, but is not designed for the Mac. The .WAV file option takes approx. 4 times more memory to store and transmit than the popular MP3 compressed format. (Try small files, like 10 seconds to 3 minutes to start with) When sending longer voice emails, it is suggested you utilize the MP3 format. (See details in the owner's manual.)
