Data Formats

Which data formats can I use with the bundled CornerStone applications?

CornerStone supports the most usual image formats:

  • png (Portable Network Graphics), with and without alpha channel, both 8-bit and 16-bit pngs
  • jpeg (Joint Picture Expert Group)
  • tga (TARGA file format)

The video decoding is done with FFMPEG video codec library that supports following formats:

  • avi
  • mov
  • wmv
  • m4v
  • qt
  • mkv
  • mpeg

The actual supported formats depend on the FFMPEG release and compilation. There are sometimes issues with the videos, even if they are encoded into ano of the above containers.
