CINE is a proprietary video file format created by Vision Research for storing uncompressed or lightly compressed high-speed camera footage from their Phantom camera systems. It stores raw sensor image sequences along with camera settings and timing metadata, allowing frame-accurate playback and analysis of high-speed events. It is primarily used in scientific, industrial, and engineering high-speed imaging applications.
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.
