Converter MEF to BGP

MEF is Mamiya's own RAW format. A high-quality Japanese brand is well known to those who take professional photographs. His story began in the 1940s. It was then that camera designer Seiichi Mamiya and investor Tsunejiro Sugawara created Mamiya. Mamiya ZD cameras are the first mid-format digital cameras. The expanded name of the MEF format is Mamiya RAW Image. He gained fame as a format of "digital negatives". Mamiya has developed this format in order to use it in cameras of its own production. At the same time, the main goal was to store the photos in an uncompressed form, so that later they would be processed without losing quality. The format is built on the principle of a RAW file. It contains a complete set of information that is received from the camera lens. RAW images are uncompressed files. They can be customized using image editing software. They are often preferred by professional photographers, because they are tasked with having high-quality images with many details. An MEF file is capable of storing an image as if it had been made into a CCD camera device. In most cases, it is stored on a memory card, and then transferred to a computer in order to edit and publish.

BPG is a new graphic format developed by French programmer Fabrice Bellard, known as the creator of the popular programs FFmpeg, QEMU, LZEXE. The main task of the new format is to become a replacement, first of all, for the super popular JPEG image format. According to the developer, such a replacement is necessary where the file size or quality is of great importance. BPG (full name Better Portable Graphics) has a high compression ratio, which, when equal to JPEG quality, allows you to make files much smaller. Moreover, compression is possible without loss. Since the BPG format also supports animation, this gives rise to forecasts that this particular format can successfully compete and eventually replace the animated GIF on the Internet, since it surpasses it in all respects. So, GIF-animation of similar quality will have a much larger size. The BPG format is based on a subset of the HEVC open video compression technology. Mozilla research has shown that HEVC coding demonstrates clear superiority over other technologies. However, the HEVC standard does not have perfect patent purity, and therefore many browsers so far refrain from supporting BPG. Therefore, to download images by most web browsers, you need to use a special Javascript decoder.
