Smacker video is a video file format (with the .SMK file extension) developed by RAD Game Tools, and primarily used for full-motion video in video games. Smacker video supports 256 colors, and includes transparency support. While being a palette-based format, which is inherently limited to having not more than 256 colors in each frame, Smacker videos may still contain more colors in total due to "palette rotation" whereby the next frame may have a different palette. This usually results in SMK files that look better if the source video has more than 256 colors. RAD's format for video at higher color depths is Bink Video.

The compression rate of Smacker can reach 1:12, but at the loss of quality (pixelation).^{[citation needed]}

New versions of the Smacker file format also introduce Bink audio codec support.

Blizzard used this format for the cinematic videos seen in its famous games Warcraft II, StarCraft and Diablo I. The Maxis game SimCopter also uses this file format for ingame drive-in theaters.

Kathryn Mary "Kate" Garraway (born 4 May 1967) is an English journalist currently employed by ITV Breakfast.

She has presented the UK version of The Biggest Loser.

Garraway went to Fitzharrys School in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.. She then graduated from Bath College of Higher Education (later known as Bath Spa University) with a BA in English and History.

Garraway's broadcasting career began with BBC Radio Oxford, and she had become an Independent Television News trainee journalist by 1994.

A year later, Garraway joined Central News as a production journalist, reporter and news presenter. It was during her time there that she was 'talent-spotted' by Meridian Broadcasting's head of news, who poached her (after seeing one of her three minute bulletins) to become the main presenter of their nightly news magazine Meridian Tonight. This offered enough visibility on a wider stage to be selected as part of the team of presenters who launched the BBC's 24-hour rolling news channel, BBC News 24, in 1997, a period which included the anchoring of such stories as the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
