WAV and DAV files

[Freighttrainx]

What are .DAV files? Can they be convertered to WAV or even MP3 files?

Dav files are actually wav files with another extention, they can be converted but not with "your standard converter"

Allow me to be blunt.
.DAV audio files were created to make sounds creation a tiresome task. There is a utility in the Railworks folder to convert wav files to dav. But when you are trying to edit a sequence of sounds you have to do a lot of trail-and-error activities with the conversions in the middle every time you test.

yes but he asks the other way... dav to wav and as far as I know the program does not do that right? basically when you have a wav that you want to use ingme you don't need to convert it, jus edit to xml to point to the wav and it will work. Off course you need to make sure the files are properly looped if needed :)

It was only to extend the information you posted.
The real DAV file is an encrypted video format and I wonder if the DTG DAV is from the same class, but only for audio. If it is the same format with only audio, there are players in the Internet.
Getting the right codec it could be played by any player like VLC.

DTG: are you going to help on this? No? Right! I was just asking.
