- 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.
- A JP2 file is a compressed bitmap image created using JPEG 2000 Core Coding. It incorporates a wavelet compression algorithm instead of Digital Cosine Transform (DCT) compression, which is used by standard JPEG images. JP2 files can be stored using lossy and lossless compression.
