YUV4MPEG Video File
Y4M is a file format used for storing uncompressed video data in the YUV4MPEG2 standard. It was developed by the VideoLAN project and is widely used in the video industry. Y4M video files are typically used in video post-production and are used as an intermediate format for video encoding and decoding.
Y4M video files are text-based and contain a header with information such as the video resolution, frame rate, and pixel format. The actual video data is stored in the YUV4MPEG2 format, which is a lossless, uncompressed format. This format is highly efficient and can be used to store high-quality video data without significantly increasing file size.
Y4M files can be opened with a variety of programs, including VLC media player, VideoLAN Movie Creator, FFmpeg, and more. To open a Y4M file, open the program and select the Y4M file from the list of supported file formats. Once the file is opened, you can view the video, edit it, or save it in another format.
Y4M files are an excellent choice for storing high-quality video data without significantly increasing file size. They are widely used in the video industry and can be opened with many programs.
