- Description
- CRI USM Video is a proprietary video container format developed by CRI Middleware for use in video games. It stores compressed audio and video streams, often using CRI's own codecs, and is commonly used for cutscenes and in-game video playback. It is prevalent in many console and PC games developed in Japan.
- It contains CD-quality audio file commonly used in gaming consoles and media players. AIFC can be compared to .WAV file that has been compressed to reduce file size. Therefore, it may incorporate ALAW, ULAW, or G722 compression.
