Supports unlimited audio, video, subtitle and attachment tracks When this data is re-encoded into RW2 Raw Photo, Contains full 12-bit or 14-bit sensor data Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Color profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.) are preserved when both formats support them. The output closely matches your original.
