- 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.
- The PAM image format is a lowest common denominator 2 dimensional map format. It is designed to be used for any of myriad kinds of graphics, but can theoretically be used for any kind of data that is arranged as a two dimensional rectangular array.
