(either com-
pressed or un-
compressed +
audio)

file storage formats, either com-
pressed or uncompressed. The whole
video clip as well as audio are stored in
one file only (container format). Pro-
prietary streaming video technology
developed by Microsoft.
YUV *.qnt
*.qtl
*.yuv
*.yuv8
8 bit YUV422
and YUVA4224
Raw 8 bit YUV422 and YUVA4224
format.

This file has no header. The
image format is recognized by the file
size. This is done with a table of pre-
defined file sizes. Component order
UYVY.
*.yuv10 10 bit YUV422
and YUVA4224
Raw 10 bit YUV422 and YUVA4224
format. This file has no header. The
image format is recognized by the file
size. This is done with a table of pre-
defined file sizes. Component order
UYVY. Bits are packed tightly from left
to right for three component samples,
then two bits of padding (zero) to fill
up to four bytes. The lines are padded
to a multiple of four bytes. The file is
padded to a multiple of 512 bytes.

This file
has no header. The image format is
recognized by the file size. This is done
with a table of predefined file sizes.
Each component is stored as a 16 bit
value in big-endian byte order (left-
aligned). Component order UYVY.
1) DVS saves files of this format by default in big-endian byte order. However,
during loading both formats (little- and big-endian byte order) can be read.
