- Description
- YUV video file format is a type of file used to store video data that has been encoded using the YUV color space. The YUV color model represents images by separating the luminance (Y) component from the chrominance (U and V) components. This separation allows for efficient video compression and broadcast transmission because the human eye is more sensitive to luminance details than to color differences. YUV files are often used in video processing and editing applications, as well as in professional broadcasting.
- 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.
