- Description
- MLV (Magic Lantern Video) is a raw video container format developed for the Magic Lantern firmware project, used on Canon DSLR cameras. It stores uncompressed or minimally processed raw sensor data along with audio and metadata, allowing high-quality video capture for post-production color grading. It is primarily used by filmmakers and videographers seeking RAW video output from consumer Canon cameras.
- A PGM file is a grayscale image file saved in the portable gray map (PGM) format and encoded with one or two bytes (8 or 16 bits) per pixel. It contains header information and a grid of numbers that represent different shades of gray from black (0) to white (up to 65,536). PGM files are typically stored in ASCII text format, but also have a binary representation.
