Note on File Format / Video Format combinations:

DIF (.dv) files only support DV family formats and can only accept DV stream formats. DIF files cannot accept encodings with separated audio streams. Supported profiles for DIF files are dvsd-stream profile which encodes consumer 25 Mbps and DVCPRO-25 & -50 streams.

AVI files can only accept encodings with separate audio and will not work with DV stream encodings. DNxHD, IMX, MPEG-1/2/4 (part 2) and DV (with separate audio) can be recorded into AVI files.

MXF files also only accept encodings with separate audio and will not work with DV stream encodings. MPEG-2 Intra HD, IMX-30/40/50, DVSD and DVCPRO-25/50 can be recorded into MXF files.
