-DDS files are the textures of the game.  By default, most graphic creation programs do not know how to create DDS files.  You will need a tool like the [[DDS_Converter|DDS Converter]] to be able to convert your [[TGA|TGA]] files to DDS files.
+Oblivion employs the DDS format for textures. The Microsoft DirectDraw Surface (.dds) file format stores textures and cubic environment maps, with or without mipmaps. It was introduced with DirectX 7.0.
+Although the format is not natively supported by most graphic editing applications, there are a number of [[DDS_Converter|Converters]] and [[DDS_Plugin|Plugins]] designed to handle the format.
