Standard definition digital video is stored as "DV" data. Both "miniDV" and "digital8", as well as professional formats use this compression system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dv

That article was *very* helpful, especially this part:

Apparently, the Windows program I was using is storing a .avi file and a .scn file (scene file) where the .avi file holds the video and audio and the scene file holds the metadata (time stamps for sections of the video, I guess).

Maybe it would be better to store .dv instead, but I think the .avi and .scn together have all of the information of the original .dv. I had told Pinnacle Studio to use DV format (the default) and it still gave me this AVI/SCN. Maybe it is possible to convert back to .dv if I had a reason to do so.
