- 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.
- Photo CD is a system designed by Kodak for digitizing and saving photos onto a CD. Launched in 1991 the discs were designed to hold nearly 100 high quality images, scanned prints and slides using special proprietary encoding.
