It is the most convenient file type where you can add a large sum of data, such as videos, audios, texts, and various images. It is a RAW format which you can later flip and separate based on needed data tracks.
Technical details	🔵 Whether it is video, audio, subtitle, or image, every file will be stored in a separate data line.
