Heyo,
 
I just found out that DCTV save 24-bit color data in a different 
form than usual. Instead of being a Digital format like 
RGB, the information is saved as digital waveforms (samples) 
of NTSC signal. I read about it in the March edition of 
Amazing computing. What this means is that the DCTV format 
files (uncompressed) have no obvious form.
 
 Since NTSC is one signal and is decoded into RGB by your TV set,
 you have to have a NTSC decoder emulator of some sort to to convert
 DCTV format to 24-bit IFF format.
