PMD in het kort
PMD
The .pmd extension appeared in Sony's prosumer and professional recording device output alongside other Sony-proprietary formats like MQV, serving as a companion metadata or media descriptor file.
DDS in het kort
DDS
DDS grew out of Microsoft's graphics API and game-development ecosystem, which is why it feels more like an engine or texture-delivery format than a conventional consumer image file.
