Hi I've always used JPEG, PNG or BMP file formats for my texture/screens, so I've like to know what is the big advantage of using DDS files!

..I'm asking this because I'm using a plugin in photoshop to export to DDS and it appears lots of mipmaps, but it only saves one file, so I believe that those mipmaps are "stored" on one DDS, so my question is if those mipmaps are called automatically by the engine?

EDIT:
..but I'm only supposing, so would be great to first understand the advantages of DDS
