The DVB File Format [Standards in a Nutshell]

The Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Project develops standards for television broadcast services. The DVB File Format, one of the recent DVB standards, is intended to be a recording format for received broadcasts and a file interchange format when recorded broadcasts are copied or moved from one DVB-compatible device to another. The DVB File Format is an extension of the ISO Base Media File Format (ISOBMFF), which is widely used as a basis format for various container formats, such as MPEG-4 File Format (MP4) and 3GP File Format (3GP) developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), respectively.
