CR2 at a glance

CR2

CR2 became the dominant Canon raw family through the long DSLR era, so huge real-world photo archives still depend on stable CR2 decoding and migration paths.

TOD at a glance

TOD

TOD appeared with JVC's HD-capable Everio camcorders around 2006 as the high-definition counterpart to the earlier MOD format, using MPEG-2 Transport Stream rather than Program Stream to accommodate HD bitrates.
