More info

The MJ2 file contains a video that is a sequence of JPEG 2000 compressed frames. The file may also contain audio data.

JPEG 2000 is a digital image compression technique that provides both lossless and lossy compression. It has some advantages over JPEG. Image quality is better at high compression rates and some limitations no longer exist. Eg image size, color depths or support for alpha channels (for transparency). However, this is offset by the licensing-related situation and a significantly higher demand for computing power.

The ending MJ2 is more common under Windows. Other operating systems, such as Apple Mac OSX, often use the extension mjp2 for these types of files.

Some programs can read these files with the help of a plugin.
