	TGV is a multimedia format used in various games published by companies under the Electronic Arts umbrella. It employs loss-less intra frame compression, and block-based motion and VQ for inter frames. The lossless compression algorithm is also used to compress game data files in Privateer 2 and StarLacer.

Intra-frames begin with a header that describes the image dimensions and palette. Frame rate is not reported in the header. Need For Speed, NBA '96 and Cybermancer Demo samples were found to render correctly at 15 fps, while Privateer 2 samples render correctly at 12 fps.

TGV is a multimedia format used in various games published by companies under the Electronic Arts umbrella. It is suspected to use a vector quantizer for video coding.

			== Data Format ==
			All multi-byte numbers in TGV files are stored in little endian format. TGV files are comprised of a series of chunks with the following format:

			bytes 0-3 chunk type [[FourCC]]
			bytes 4-7 chunk length (including this 8-byte preamble)
			bytes 8.. chunk payload

			The following data chunk types are known to occur in TGV files:

			=== SEAD ===
			Possibly stands for 'Sound hEADer'. This chunk contains parameters to initialize audio decoding and has the following layout:

			bytes 0-3 'SEAD'
			bytes 4-7 chunk length, should be 20 (0x14)
			bytes 8-11 audio sample rate
			bytes 12-15 probably audio channels, audio bytes/sample, or coding type
			bytes 16-19 probably audio channels, audio bytes/sample, or coding type

			=== SNDC ===
			SouND Chunk. This chunk's payload contains a block of audio data after the 8-byte chunk preamble.

			=== kVGT ===
			TGV keyframe. This chunk carries a keyframe coded in the TGV coding method along with the width and height of the frame:

			bytes 0-3 'kVGT'
			bytes 4-7 chunk length
			bytes 8-11 frame width
			bytes 12-15 frame height
			bytes 16.. encoded video frame

			=== fVGT ===
			TGV interframe. This chunk carries an interframe after the 8-byte chunk preamble.
