About formats

M2V is a file format containing MPEG-2 video elementary streams without an encapsulating container or associated audio data. Standardized as part of ISO/IEC 13818-2 (also known as ITU-T H.262) by the Moving Picture Experts Group in 1995, M2V stores raw compressed video exactly as it would appear within an MPEG-2 program or transport stream, but stripped of all multiplexing overhead. This makes M2V files primarily useful in professional authoring workflows, particularly DVD production, where video and audio streams are prepared and encoded separately before being muxed together into the final container format. M2V streams support both interlaced and progressive scan modes at resolutions ranging from standard definition up to 1920x1080 HD, with bit rates typically ranging from 2 to 15 Mbps for consumer content and up to 80 Mbps in professional applications. The use of both intra-coded frames and predictive frames provides an effective balance between compression efficiency and random access capability. Because M2V contains only video with no audio or synchronization information, it requires pairing with a separate audio file for complete playback. DVD authoring software commonly expects M2V input alongside AC3 or LPCM audio files, making this format an essential intermediate step in professional disc mastering and broadcast preparation workflows.
Initial release: July 1995
PRC is an audio file format associated with Psion) handheld organizers, particularly the Series 3 and Series 5 lines from the 1990s. These pocket computers included built-in microphones and basic voice recording capabilities, storing captured audio in the PRC container. The encoding is typically ADPCM-based (Adaptive Differential Pulse-Code Modulation), balancing file size against audio intelligibility given the severe storage constraints of early PDAs — the original Psion Series 3 had just 256 KB of RAM doubling as storage. PRC audio is generally mono at low sample rates (often 8 kHz), optimized for speech rather than music. One advantage was tight integration with the EPOC operating system (later evolving into Symbian), letting users embed voice notes directly in agenda entries and database records. The compact file sizes — a minute of speech consumed only a few kilobytes — made it feasible to store dozens of memos on devices with minimal memory. While PRC audio is a legacy format today, conversion tools exist for extracting recordings from archived Psion devices, which remain collectible among retro computing enthusiasts.
