About formats

AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a high-definition recording format jointly developed by Sony and Panasonic for use in consumer and semi-professional camcorders. Announced in 2006, the format records H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video at resolutions up to 1920x1080 with Dolby Digital or uncompressed LPCM audio, stored within an MPEG-2 transport stream container. AVCHD was designed to work with a variety of recording media, including optical discs, hard disk drives, and solid-state memory cards, giving camera manufacturers flexibility in hardware design. The use of H.264 compression delivers superior image quality at lower bit rates compared to earlier recording standards like DV and MPEG-2, enabling longer recording times on the same storage capacity. AVCHD supports progressive and interlaced scanning modes, accommodating both cinematic and broadcast-style shooting. The directory structure follows a strict specification that includes playlist files for navigating recorded clips, making it compatible with Blu-ray players when recorded to compatible disc media. An enhanced version, AVCHD 2.0, added support for 1080/60p progressive recording and 3D stereoscopic video. The format remains widely used in the camcorder market and continues to be supported by major video editing applications.

TXW is the native audio sample format of the Yamaha TX16W, a rack-mounted digital sampler released by Yamaha in 1988. Each TXW file stores a single audio sample captured by the TX16W's 12-bit analog-to-digital converters, with selectable sampling rates of 16.7 kHz, 33.3 kHz, and 50 kHz in mono. The format was engineered to work within the sampler's architecture — 1.5 MB of onboard RAM expandable via memory cards — so files are compact and structured for quick loading from 3.5-inch floppy disks. Despite its 12-bit resolution, the TX16W earned a loyal following among electronic musicians who prized its distinctive warm, slightly gritty character that imparted a recognizable sonic texture to sampled material. The format preserves loop point data and tuning metadata, enabling seamless playback of sustain loops within the hardware. While TXW files are not directly playable in most modern software, conversion utilities and the SoX audio toolkit can transform them into contemporary formats like WAV or AIFF. For vintage synth enthusiasts and sample library curators, TXW remains an important archival format.
