- Description
- The IFF (Interchange File Format) is a file format originally developed by Electronic Arts and Commodore-Amiga in the 1980s. It was designed to facilitate the sharing and storage of multimedia data, such as images, audio, and video, between different software applications and systems. The format is chunk-based, allowing it to encapsulate various types of data within a single file by organizing them into self-contained blocks. While it was most prominently used on Amiga computers, the IFF format has influenced the development of subsequent file formats, including the widely used AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) for audio files.
- A VOB file is a movie data file from a DVD disc, typically stored in the VIDEO_TS folder at the root of the DVD. It contains a majority of the data stored on the disc which includes video, audio, subtitles, DVD menus and other navigation contents. VOB files are usually formatted as MPEG-2 system streams and can be opened by various video playback programs.
