- Description
- The MPA file format, standing for MPEG-2 Audio File, is designed to store audio data compressed using the MPEG-2 Audio coding standard. This format is a successor to the MPEG-1 standard, offering enhancements like improved audio quality and support for multiple audio channels, thus enabling surround sound experiences. MPA files are commonly used for both music and video soundtracks due to their efficient compression, which preserves sound quality while reducing file size significantly.
- 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.
