What is a .CDXL file?

A .CDXL file is a type of video file that was specifically designed for use on the Commodore Amiga computer system, particularly with the Amiga CD-ROM. This file format contains uncompressed motion video, which means it does not use any compression to reduce the file size, leading to a straightforward but large file. The .CDXL format was mainly utilized by applications created for the Commodore CDTV. The CDTV was an innovative home entertainment and video game console that was essentially an Amiga 500 computer repackaged to fit into a living room environment.
