About the DCR format
RAW — Kodak DCR RAW
DCR is Kodak's proprietary RAW image format used in its professional digital cameras such as the DCS Pro series. It captures raw sensor data and is primarily encountered when digitizing or archiving early professional digital photography.
Common uses
- Archiving Kodak DCS professional camera files
- Legacy photojournalism workflows
- Converting early digital photography archives
- Historical image preservation
About the BZ2 format
BZ2 — Bzip2 Compressed File
BZ2 is a single-file compression format using the bzip2 algorithm (Burrows-Wheeler transform + Huffman coding). It consistently achieves 10-15% better compression ratios than gzip for text and source code, making it preferred for bandwidth-sensitive distributions. Like gzip, it compresses only a single file — directories must be bundled with TAR first.
Common uses
- Compressing large text files and source code archives
- Linux package distribution (.deb source packages)
- Scientific data compression
- Bandwidth-sensitive file distribution
