RAF at a glance

RAF

Fujifilm's digital-camera identity tied raw capture not just to sensor data but also to a brand-specific color and workflow story, which gives RAF a recognizably different practical role from some rival raw families.

M2V at a glance

M2V

The .m2v extension became the conventional identifier for demultiplexed MPEG-2 video elementary streams during the DVD authoring era, when tools separated video from program streams for independent processing.
