Thanks for sharing, really helpful!

None of these have done anything, but give me a 30-35% INCREASE in size. I'm still determined to find a solution but attempts to compress this video by ANY means results in similar results.....

@AD5GB as i said before here, it depends on what video you have, so you need to experiment a bit

A DCV file is a special encrypted format used by the video-sharing site and download service provided by DMM.com.

This file format aims to address issues such as copyright protection and illegal uploading. Additionally, DCV files offer high-quality images and sound, resolving problems like choppiness, image degradation, and sound loss during streaming playback.

However, DCV files cannot be played using anything other than dedicated players or download software; thus, they need to be converted to the MP4 format.

Converting DMM video DCV files to MP4 requires the use of dedicated software, many of which are available free of charge.

In this article, we will guide you on how to convert DMM video DCV files to MP4.
