- Description
- xWMA is a container format for compressed audio data developed by Microsoft, based on Windows Media Audio (WMA) compression but with a simplified header structure optimized for streaming and playback via the XAudio2 API. It is primarily used in Xbox and Windows game development to store sound effects and music efficiently.
- AMV (Actions Media Video) is a proprietary video file format, produced for MP4 players, as well as S1 MP3 players with video playback. There are two different versions of this format: an older one for Actions chips, and a newer one for ALi’s M5661 chip, sometimes called ALIAVI.
