XLT at a glance

XLT

XLT belongs to the BIFF-era Excel family and reflects how spreadsheet culture relied heavily on template-driven reuse long before cloud-native spreadsheet collaboration became normal.

M2V at a glance

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.
