PPTM at a glance

PPTM

PPTM was introduced with the Office 2007 XML format family and remains common in enterprise authoring.

VDA

The Truevision line grew out of EPICenter-era PC graphics boards, and several board names ended up surviving as filename extensions even when the underlying raster structure stayed close to the wider TGA family.
