The most common standard is Part 10: Mpeg4 AVC H264 (AVCHD)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; WMV (Windows Media Video): Microsoft feature and main format used by Windows Media Player<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; FLV (Adobe Flash Video): Allows you to easily insert a video image on a WEB page, in a format that the Flash player can read.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; DivX: based on Mpeg4, makes it possible to compress strongly and suitable to save or save on DVD<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Xvid: free and open source software, using Mpeg4. Used almost exclusively to backup video files. Better quality than its competitor DivX.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Animated GIF: animation of images in GIF format. Suitable for solid colors and small videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Image_encoding_formats_not_exhaustive\"><\/span>Image encoding formats (not exhaustive)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8211; BMP (bitmap): from Microsoft and IBM. It is composed of a large number of pixels and is not suitable for enlargement work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): Generally used for photos and other continuous images of HTML documents. It supports CMYK, RGB and grayscale modes, but no alpha channels. Unlike GIF, the JPEG format retains the color information of an RGB image. However, it compresses the file size by selectively deleting the data.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; RAW: High resolution uncompressed format that provides the best picture quality. This format is not standard: there are more than 200 types of RAW, including .crw, .cr2 (CANON), .nv2 (PANASONIC), .nef, .nrw (NIKON), .arw (SONY) &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; GIF (Graphics Interchange Format): Generally used to display indexed color graphics and images in HTML documents on the web. GIF is a compressed LZW format designed to reduce electronic transfer time and file size. Does not support alpha channels, but maintains the transparency of color-indexed images.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; PNG: royalty-free format. It was created as an alternative to GIF and is used to display images on the internet. This format uses a lossless compression process and retains all information regarding the color and alpha layers of an image.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; PSD (Photoshop format): very large, but recognized by other software.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; TGA (Targa format): Designed for systems using a Truevision video card, it is generally compatible with MS-DOS color applications. When you save an RGB image in TGA, you can select RLE encoding to compress the image and choose a pixel depth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; TIFF (Tagged-Image File): to exchange files between applications and IT platforms. Flexible bitmap image format, it is compatible with almost all image editing, drawing and design applications. Maximum TIFF document size: 4 GB.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Audio_encoding_formats_not_exhaustive\"><\/span>Audio encoding formats (not exhaustive)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8211; MP3 (MPEG 1\/2 Audio Layer 3): compression format (lossy) developed by ISO.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; AIFF: format for Apple, uncompressed audio<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; WAV (WAVE): uncompressed audio format developed by IBM and Microsoft<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; WMA: audio data compression format (lossy), developed by Microsoft.
