- Description
- The VID file type, associated with Vidcom 64, is a vintage video format utilized by specific software on Commodore 64, a popular home computer in the 1980s. This format was primarily used for storing and playing back video content on the system, leveraging the Commodore 64's graphical capabilities. Given the technological limitations of the era, VID files typically contain low-resolution, limited-color-palette video clips. The format is largely obsolete today but remains of interest to retro computing enthusiasts and digital archivists.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
