qcow is a file format for disk image files used by QEMU, a hosted virtual machine monitor. [1] It stands for "QEMU Copy On Write" and uses a disk storage optimization strategy that delays allocation of storage until it is actually needed.
The raw IMG file format is used by several tools: RaWrite and WinImage use the IMG disk image format to read and write floppy disk images. ImDisk and Virtual Floppy Drive can mount a raw image of a floppy disk to emulate a floppy drive under Microsoft Windows. Nero Burning ROM supports reading IMG files for creating bootable CDs.
QEMU versions starting with 0.12.0 (as of August 2009) support large memory which makes them incompatible with KQEMU. [13] Newer releases of QEMU have completely removed support for KQEMU. QVM86 was a GNU GPLv2 licensed drop-in replacement for the then closed-source KQEMU. The developers of QVM86 ceased development in January 2007.

Video converters are computer programs that can change the storage format of digital video. They may recompress the video to another format in a process called transcoding, or may simply change the container format without changing the video format.
A disk image is a snapshot of a storage device's structure and data typically stored in one or more computer files on another storage device. [1] [2]Traditionally, disk images were bit-by-bit copies of every sector on a hard disk often created for digital forensic purposes, but it is now common to only copy allocated data to reduce storage space.
A media player that is capable of progressive download playback relies on meta data located in the header of the file to be intact and a local buffer of the digital media file as it is downloaded from a web server. At the point in which a specified amount of data becomes available to the local playback device, the media will begin to play.
The command line Linux application ccd2iso is available to convert ISO9660-compliant CCD/IMG files to an ISO image. The GNU Project's ccd2cue can convert a CCD file to a cue sheet. [3] The CUE/BIN and MDS/MDF formats have a similar structure to the CCD/IMG format, containing both a raw disc image along with a descriptor file. [4]
