- thrdbndndn 2y agoLots of popular formats are missing (JPEG, PNG) so I guess the author focuses more on ones that are not "too well-known"?
- steve1977 2y agoWell there are formats like AIFF and WAVE, see here: https://paulbourke.net/dataformats/audio/ https://paulbourke.net/dataformats/audio/ These are more or less direct descendants of IFF so to speak (WAVE being based on RIFF, which is essentially little-endian IFF), the page also mentions as much: "Audio IFF conforms to the "EA IFF 85" Standard for Interchange Format Files developed by Electronic Arts."
- surfingdino 2y agoIFF was a popular image format at the time.
- steve1977 2y agoWould that have been ILBM specifically? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILBM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILBM I wasn't using Amigas at that time, I had an Atari... I vaguely remember Targa files (.tga)
