Why Convert DDS to VID file?

Converting a DDS texture to video turns a game or 3D-engine texture into a movie file that plays on its own in any video player. This is useful when you want to preview or present a texture as a short video clip, or include it in a video project as a self-contained clip.

A video is universally playable on phones, computers, and TVs. For a single DDS texture, the result is a short video showing the image rather than moving footage. For using the texture in a game, keep the DDS, and for a still image of it, a standard format like PNG is easier. Use the video only when you specifically need the texture as a playable clip.
