MDC is the RAW format used by certain Minolta and Agfa digital cameras, storing unprocessed sensor data before it's been demosaiced into a viewable color image. Since the cameras that produced MDC files are now older, these archived RAW files are most commonly encountered today when digitizing legacy photo collections, and they require specialized RAW decoding before they can be viewed in standard photo software.
Converting MDC to JPG demosaics the sensor data and compresses the result into a small, universally compatible file, making it practical to revisit, share, or archive photos from older Minolta and Agfa camera systems using current software.
