- 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.
- It is a JPEG file extension used by Sony digital cameras to save lower resolution images for sending on email. It is saved side by side with the high-quality JPG file.
