What does CDG, MCG, and MP3_G stand for?
This is something that confuses a lot of people do to the fact that some use ‘CDG’ to refer to the ‘RAW’ music and graphics as it would be on a CD (this should be called ‘BIN’ or ‘RAW’ in my opinion), while others use it to refer to just the graphics part of the data. CAVS uses ‘CDG’ to refer to its own file format. The following are the terms as uses by RoxBox:’CDG’ = the graphic part of a karaoke song that is the exact same as what is on a karaoke CD without the music. ‘BIN’ = the ‘RAW’ data, music and graphics as it is on the CD. ‘WAV’ = the music data as it is on the CD without the graphic data. ‘MP3’ = a compressed form of the ‘WAV’ data. ‘MP3+G’ = ‘MP3’ file for music and a ‘CDG’ file for the graphics. CAVS uses the names differently as follows: ‘CDG’ = CAVS own graphic data format ‘CDG(rw)’ = what RoxBox and most others call ‘CDG’ ‘MCG’ = CAVS own graphic data format ‘NCG’ = encrypted version of ‘MCG’ or ‘CDG(rw)’ or ‘CDG’ If you have others, please feel free to send them to me
