RoQ is a full motion video format originally developed for The 11th Hour by Graeme Devine. The format was later used as the FMV format for Quake III: Arena and derivative games.
According to excerpts of Devine's 11th Hour development journal published in Wired at http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.08/shipping.html, the RoQ format was named after Devine's newborn daughter, Roqee.
