- Description
- A DDS file is a raster image saved in the DirectDraw Surface (DDS) container format. It can store compressed and uncompressed pixel formats and is often used for texturing video game unit models. DDS files may also be used to store Windows desktop backgrounds or wallpapers.
- YUV video file format is a type of file used to store video data that has been encoded using the YUV color space. The YUV color model represents images by separating the luminance (Y) component from the chrominance (U and V) components. This separation allows for efficient video compression and broadcast transmission because the human eye is more sensitive to luminance details than to color differences. YUV files are often used in video processing and editing applications, as well as in professional broadcasting.
