- 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.
- Image file format related to the .PNG format, but uses lossy compression like standard .JPG files; developed as a sub-format for .MNG objects, but can also be used as a standalone raster image format.
