- Description
- id RoQ is a proprietary video (and audio) container format developed for use in video games. It uses a custom codec combining vector quantization for video and a simple compression scheme for audio, designed for fast decoding on limited hardware. It was used in several id Software games such as Quake III Arena and Return to Castle Wolfenstein to play full-motion video cutscenes.
- The JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) format makes it possible to transfer compressed JPEG files across computers. This graphical file format uses a marker to show various parameters not seen in the standard JPEG file — for instance, pixel size, pixel geometry, among others.
