The format CR2 (Canon raw version 2) was developed in 2004 by Canon Inc. with the purpose of storing digital images. The main difference between CR2 and more common formats like JPG or PNG is that CR2 does not offer ready to view pictures. Raw formats like CR2 are advantageous mainly because CR2 enables the user to post process the image easier than ready to view without worrying about the quality loss. CR2 files are based on the TIFF (Tagged Image file) file specification. CR2 format as well as other raw images, can be viewed using programs like Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, digiKam etc.
The .mtv filename extension is the second filename extension that refers to the proprietary video file format container AMV. AMV is a video container modified from the AVI video format and is primarily associated with video enabled Chinese portable MP4 players. Video stream files with either the .amv or .mtv filename extension can be played back on these devices. To maintain a relatively low cost, these MP4/MTV players rely on this video format and inexpensive hardware rather than more common but expensive proprietary video playback formats.

CR2 format is the upgraded version of CRW, it offers the best quality to size ratio. What makes it so different from other formats is the fact that all the colours are recorded either in 12 or 14 bits and lossless compression is being used. The primary benefit of using CR2 format is that it allows professional photographers and designers the ability to modify pictures without any drawbacks, unlike some other file formats.
The MTV format consists of a 512 byte header block. This is followed by audio and image blocks in an alternating sequence. Each image block in the format represents an entire image frame. During playback, audio frames are parsed through an MP3 decoder whilst the video stream is decoded as complete still images. Image frame data is not compressed and as such utilizes the bulk of the available memory storage on the device. The mtv format is inherently a low image resolution / low frame rate format with a maximum 16 bit uncompressed color depth.
