The .tga filename extension refers to the Truevision raster graphics file format. It is a graphics format that was developed by Truevision incorporated in 1984, a company which was later acquired by Avid Technology. The company was known for developing computer daughter boards designed for digital video authoring and editing. These boards used the Truevision TGA format natively for digital video editing and were supported by both PC and Macintosh at the time.
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.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for TGA to MTV conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload TGA files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized MTV results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent MTV audio with dependable progress tracking.
Files stored with the .tga filename extension support pixel resolutions of between 8 and 32 bits. Image data can be either RAW or compressed using the simple but effective lossless compression algorithm RLE. A .tga file contains in its structure a header block and an information block that has the color pixel information, image type, and color map specification. Memory utilization in this format is governed by little endian given the fact that the daughter boards originally communicated over IBM's ISA interface.
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.
