Convert POT to DDS

A POT file, short for PowerPoint Template, is a legacy file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint versions 97 through 2003. It contains default layouts, formatting, and styles for slide shows, enabling users to create multiple presentations with consistent design. Since PowerPoint 2007, the Open XML format (POTX) has replaced the older binary format, offering improved file size, security, and interoperability. Despite this, newer versions of PowerPoint can still open and save POT files.

The DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file extension is used primarily for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps in the field of computer technology. Introduced by Microsoft with DirectX 7.0, DDS files facilitate efficient loading and storage of texture data, crucial for rendering 3D graphics in real-time applications like video games and simulation software. These files support both uncompressed and compressed formats, leveraging S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) to optimize memory usage and performance. DDS files are indispensable in modern graphics programming, enabling quick texture manipulation and robust graphical asset management.
