- The SHN file format, short for Shorten Compressed Audio File, is a type of compressed audio file developed for efficiently archiving high-quality digital audio. Shorten was one of the early lossless compression methods for audio, meaning it allows the exact original audio data to be reconstructed from the compressed data, without any loss in quality.
- 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.
