  (Macintosh only) PICS: Developed by Apple Computer, Inc. A PICS file is a sequence of PICT images. Many applications that handle multiple image formats on the Macintosh platform also support PICS files.
  QuickTime: Developed by Apple Computer, Inc. for multimedia on multiple platforms.
  (Windows only) AVI (Audio Video Interleave): Developed by Microsoft for storing video and audio information as part of its Video for Windows standard.
  ERIMovie: Developed by Elastic Reality, Inc. (now a division of Avid Technology, Inc.) for quick playback of rendered movies on Silicon Graphics, Inc. platforms.
