- Description
- The AVR (Audio Visual Research) file format is a proprietary audio format developed by Audio Visual Research for use on Macintosh computers. It was primarily used in older Mac operating systems and is less common today. AVR files were designed for storing digitized audio data, often used in conjunction with early audio editing and processing software on the Mac platform. This format allowed for the storage and manipulation of various types of audio information, making it a useful tool for researchers, musicians, and audio engineers during its time of popularity.
- Raster image based on the Targa Truevision format; can store data up to 32 bits per pixel, with 24 bits for the RGB information and 8 bits for the alpha channel; may also incorporate lossless RLE compression to reduce the file size.
