About formats

MJPEG (Motion JPEG) is a video compression format in which each frame is independently compressed as a separate JPEG image. Unlike interframe codecs that exploit temporal redundancy between successive frames, MJPEG treats every frame as a standalone photograph, applying the discrete cosine transform compression familiar from still image JPEG encoding. This approach dates back to 1992, coinciding with the establishment of the JPEG standard itself, and was widely adopted as one of the earliest practical methods for compressing digital video. The intraframe-only nature of MJPEG carries several practical benefits: any frame can be accessed and edited independently without decoding neighboring frames, making it exceptionally well-suited for video editing and applications requiring frame-accurate random access. MJPEG is commonly used in IP cameras, security surveillance systems, medical imaging, and industrial machine vision, where individual frame integrity and low processing latency outweigh the higher bandwidth requirements compared to modern interframe codecs. The format achieves typical compression ratios of 10:1 to 20:1 while maintaining good visual quality, though at significantly higher bit rates than temporal compression methods for equivalent quality. MJPEG streams can be delivered over HTTP, making them straightforward to implement in web-based monitoring applications, and the simplicity of the codec ensures reliable decoding even on resource-constrained embedded hardware.
Initial release: 1992
SND is a multi-platform audio file extension used across several computing ecosystems since the late 1980s. On Sun and NeXT workstations, .snd files follow the AU format structure — a header with magic number 0x2e736e64, data offset, encoding type, sample rate, and channel count, followed by raw audio. On MS-DOS PCs, the same .snd extension was used by early sound utilities like Sounder and SoundTool for simple 8-bit unsigned PCM recordings. Macintosh systems also employed .snd for sound resources embedded in the resource fork. Because the extension is shared across incompatible formats, audio processing tools typically inspect the file header to determine which variant they are handling: files beginning with the AU magic number are treated as Sun/NeXT audio, while headerless files are interpreted as raw PCM with assumed parameters. The Sun/NeXT variant supports multiple encodings including mu-law, A-law, 8-bit and 16-bit linear PCM, and ADPCM, making it versatile for both speech and general audio. One advantage of the AU-style SND is its self-describing header, which enables any compliant player to determine sample format and rate without external metadata. The MS-DOS SND variants hold historical value as artifacts of the era when Sound Blaster cards first brought digital audio to personal computers. SND files from all platforms can be processed and converted using SoX and other audio tools.
