MOD at a glance

MOD

MOD appeared with JVC's first Everio hard-disk camcorders around 2003, recording standard-definition MPEG-2 video in program stream containers as a pragmatic bridge between the DV tape era and later AVCHD adoption.

DCM at a glance

DCM

DICOM grew out of the need to exchange imaging data across scanners, archives, and clinical systems without throwing away the surrounding context that makes a medical image usable in practice.
