Overview

MTV is a simple uncompressed truecolor raster image file format, used for images generated by the MTV ray tracer program by Mark VandeWettering. Its name comes from the author's initials, not the Music Television cable channel, so the slogan "I Want My MTV!" doesn't apply to it.

It is very similar to binary PPM format.
