What is a 411 file?

Those born around the 1960s or before must have heard of the Sony Mavica (Magnetic Video Camera) series of the digital camera. These were around for two and a half decades between the 1980s and mid-2000s. The 411 file extension stores the images captured by the camera. These files contain a 64 x 48 resolution preview which gives us a rough idea of the actual image.
These files are rare to find and are increasingly becoming obsolete.
