VNM

Venom (vnm, virtual nano media) is an experimental image, audio, and video file format.

It's suppposed to be extremely simple and suckless. Images are 16 color and run length encoded, It's like 'farbfeld' driven to its end conclusion. The default color palette is that of TempleOS'.

Venom is the best set of multimedia formats in the world.

IMAGES

Magic number letter "V" (86)

uint8 width and height as a single value (must be power of two), this is multiplied by 8, max resulting resolution is 1024x1024 So to get 1024x1024 this value is 128, to get 512x512 you do 64.

row by row uint8 (color) and uint8 (run length)

AUDIO

Audio is always 8000hz Magic number letter "A" (65) uint8 list of samples.

VIDEO

Video is at the top, audio at the bottom, Video is 30FPS. Width and height is unchanging.

Sequence of "V" images The audio "A" sequence

TOS COLOR PALETTE

This will be default for all the programs.

  1. #000000 (Black) 0,0,0
  2. #0000AA (Blue) 0,0,170
  3. #00AA00 (Green) 0,170,0
  4. #00AAAA (Cyan) 0,170,170
  5. #AA0000 (Red) 170,0,0
  6. #AA00AA (Magenta) 170,0,170
  7. #AA5500 (Brown) 170,79,0
  8. #AAAAAA (Light Gray) 170,170,170
  9. #555555 (Dark Gray) 79,79,79
  10. #5555FF (Light Blue) 79,79,255
  11. #55FF55 (Light Green) 79,255,79
  12. #55FFFF (Light Cyan) 79,255,255
  13. #FF5555 (Light Red) 255,79,79
  14. #FF55FF (Light Magenta) 255,79,255
  15. #FFFF55 (Yellow) 255,255,79
  16. #FFFFFF (White) 255,255,255

Why?

Multimedia sucks. You may notice that all the files are completely composed of eight bit integers, this allows for multimedia files to be easily modified by UNIX utilities in interesting interactions, or be generated very easily. I can see the feasibility of getting a VNM file to glitch out, but I don't really care, and it has never happened in practice. Ive discovered that 16 color isnt a such a hardship, it's quite liberating, especially with proper dithering images can look indistinguishable and 'cooler'. The palettes of the programs can also just be modified to best suite a set of images. VNM is also perfect for embedded assets in ROMs.

PROGRAMS

ff2vnm - Convert farbfeld images to vnm images

vnmstat - Program that identifies, validates, and makes stats for a vnm file

vnmnoise - Example program that generates an unoptimized noisy image

vnmbeat - Example program that generates a sound file

vnmcarr - Convert VNM files into C arrays

VNM is so simple, you can just use your core utils to work with it.

Combining images into a video: cat baby.vnm recursion.vnm > slideshow.vnm

Splitting video into images and audio: csplit -z slideshow.vnm /V/ '{*}'

SCRIPTS

png2vnm.sh - Convert PNG to VNM given png2ff

vid2vnm.sh - Convert video to VNM
