- Description
- Digital Speech Standard (DSS) is a proprietary compressed digital audio file format defined by the International Voice Association, a co-operative venture by Olympus, Philips and Grundig. DSS was originally developed in 1994 by Grundig with the University of Nuremberg. In 1997, the digital speech standard was released, which was based on the previous codec. It is commonly used on digital dictation recorders. Modern phycoacoustical codecs that perform nearly as well at only slightly higher bitrates have led to this speech coding standard being less used in modern voice recording equipment.
- A64 is a video file format used by the Commodore 64 computer system. It contains video data that is playable on the Commodore 64 computer and also compatible with modern systems. The A64 format supports a wide range of pixel depths, resolutions, and color palettes, and is primarily used for storing video game animations and cutscenes.
