There is a clear differentiation between the content of a file (a song) and the format of a file (MP3). A song (content) can be represented as an AAC audio file (format), or an MPEG-2 music video (format). It is beneficial to identify file content along with available file formats on a web page to ensure that all download options are clear to site visitors.

The Unreal Engine uses a single file format to store all its game-content. You may have seen many different filetypes, like .utx (textures), .unr (maps), .umx (sound) and .u (code), but from a technical standpoint there is no difference between those files; the different file endings are only used to help organize the packages in the directory structure. The following article will describe the basic structure of his fileformat. It omits many details (such as tons of constants, for example), but there’s a good reference available on the net by Antonio Cordero Balcazar (see links).
