- Description
- BCSTM (Binary Cafe Stream) is a streamed audio format used by Nintendo on the 3DS platform. It stores compressed or PCM audio data optimized for streaming playback in games, as opposed to fully loading into memory. It is commonly extracted from game files for audio modding or playback with specialized tools.
- Video file encoded with the MPEG-2 codec, which is mainly used for over-the-air, satellite, and cable digital TV signals and DVD video; uses lossy compression for audio and video to significantly reduce the size of the video data; not as efficient as the H.264 format.
