Drag one or multiple AVI files to the Canopus DV File Converter icon on your desktop. The dialog will open and you can select target format and directory.
You can also click on the Canopus DV File Converter icon, and Drag and Drop a list of DV files on the Application, or click "Browse" and select files from the opening dialog box.
After you select your source AVI, click "Process". The files will be created.

The correct version number, as indicated by the program itself and its readme file, is 1.1. Although 15 years old by now, this program does exactly what it says: convert DV-AVI files between Type 1 and Type 2

Tools for converting DV type:
-"Enosoft AVI repair tool", a tool included with "Enosoft DV Processor" -->works at 100%
-Ulead DV Type 1 to DV Type 2 Converter --> if the files are big (>4 GB) audio gets corrupted with "shshshshsh" sound.
-Canopus_DV_File_Converter V1.0.2 --> if the files are big (>4 GB) aborts before ending.
-DVDATE V7.1 --> works OK but downsamples audio to 32000Hz. (Why??)

Works like a charm. Has all it takes to do the job, and nothing more. Thus far I have tested with a 300 MB file, I will report if I run into problems with files over 2 GB in the future.
A short summary of how the thing works: You select the source, and you select the target. Target format options:
CANOPUS CODEC
(1) Canopus Edit Compatible AVI (AVI 1)
(2) Canopus Reference AVI
(3) Premiere compatible Canopus AVI (AVI 2)
MICROSOFT CODEC
(1) Microsoft DV (AVI 1)
(2) Microsoft DV (AVI 2)
... followed by "Process" and "Exit".
In all its simplicity, a great tool. I gave 10 for features because it has all it takes. I hate tools with all the bells and whistles that suck when it comes to doing what the tool was originally meant for.
