The Silicon Graphics Movie (MOVIE) format is a legacy multimedia container developed by Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) for use within the IRIX operating system. This format was historically utilized to store video and audio data for high-performance graphics rendering and visual effects pipelines. Although inherently safe due to its simple structure, the format is now considered obsolete and typically requires file conversion or specialized legacy media players for viewing on modern devices.
