This is typically defined based on the file extension of the media item. However, it may be the value of the format attribute defined by the Dublin Core Media Initiative standard, extracted from any XMP metadata contained within this media item.

Note: the format attribute may be ignored if the top-level MIME type disagrees with the file extension. For example, it's reasonable for an image/jpeg file to declare a format of image/vnd.google.panorama360+jpg, but declaring a format of audio/ogg would be ignored.

This is a read-only column that is automatically computed.
