hm, I somehow suspect you did not mean to say binary in the last 
sentence, because (almost) all the image formats are binary...

The .dds format can directly store DXT compressed texture data. I don't 
think OpenSG has support to write the format, but I'm sure there are 
converters you can pipe your .png files through.
