- Description
- The WTV (Windows Recorded TV Show) file format is used by Microsoft's Windows Media Center to store TV recordings. Introduced with Windows 7 as a successor to the earlier DVR-MS format used by Windows XP Media Center Edition, WTV files allow users to record live television broadcasts or schedule recordings directly through their computers equipped with a compatible TV tuner card. These files encapsulate both the video and audio streams, along with metadata such as broadcast information and closed captions.
- Originally used on the Sun Microsystems computers, RAS is a raster image format that displays bitmap images. It is popularly used for specific types of research projects and it can be developed in Unix OS as well. It supports 1 and 32-bits per pixel and used RLE compression codec.
