JPG: (Joint Photographic Experts Group) - The name of the committee that designed the photographic image-
compression standard. The format (.jpg) is optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale photographic images.
JPG images are 24-bit (16.7 million color) graphics.
AVI: (Audio/visual interleaved) files are one of the more popular animated image formats in use today. They are
most often used for video playback, though they are also used for more simple things such as the Windows "file
copy" and "search" animations. AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but it is typically compressed using a
Windows-supplied or third party compression and decompression module called a codec.
