- Description
- Xvid-encoded video files are digital video files that have been compressed and encoded using the Xvid codec, an open-source video codec designed for compressing video data in order to facilitate faster transmission over computer networks or for more efficient storage on computer disks. Xvid, which is a reverse spelling of "DivX," emerged as a popular format due to its ability to compress video files without significant loss of quality.
- 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.
