- Description
- This format is used to compress TIFF images when sending them via fax machines. This format helps reduce the data transmission time. Group 3 eliminates redundant data during compression in order to reduce file size. The standard 10:1 compression ratio may be increased to the user's preferences, but it can lead to a significant loss of image quality.
- Video format used by various Chinese MP4 portable video players; contains a 512-byte file header and a series of images that are displayed during MP3 playback; similar to a .AMV file, but uses slightly different formatting.
