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.
A .ppm extension file comprises of two parts which include the header and the image related data. The header, in turn, is distributed into three parts that are demarcated by line feeds. The first line comprises of the magical PPM identifier which can either be P3 for the ASCII version or P6 for the binary version, and the next line has the image's height and width displayed in ASCII characters and the last line indicates the maximum color value of the pixels. The image data formatting is dependent on the magical identifier, given in the first line of the header. Each pixel consists of 3 decimal values ranging from 0 to the specified maximum value written in ASCII characters. The 0 in the decimal values denotes that the color is not present or is turned off and the maximum value denotes that the color is at its maximum level. Conventionally the image data is stored in a left to right and top to bottom order with each pixel being stored as a byte. The usual RGB (Red ñ Green ñ Blue) order is followed to store the components.
