MPV .MPV is a container file used for MPEG Elementary Stream video content (Elementary Video Stream), typically used in video-programming environments for audio/video editing, such as in applications like ANXEditor and Adobe's pre-CS6 versions of Premiere Pro. It supports multiple streams of data and navigation pointers. Generally, an MPV file will contain either two audio streams for stereo sound, or one audio and one video stream with MPEG-2 compression.
Technical Details
MPV files are based on the MPEG transport stream packet format and can accommodate variable bitrate (VBR) and constant bitrate (CBR) compression. Other formats that use this same transport stream structure include .TS, .M2TS, .MTS, .VOB, .PS, and .MPG. All of these formats are capable of carrying audio tracks, video tracks, multiplex data, or other media components.
Compatibility and Usage
MPV files are best suited for authoring rather than playback, as there is no universally-available media player that can read them without requiring additional software to be installed. Several universal media player programs such as QuickTime or Winamp may be able to play them, but this requires codec packs to be installed. Final Cut Pro, .Avid Media Composer, and .Adobe Premiere Pro are examples of video editing programs which support elementray stream video files.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MPV) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .MPV extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .MPV file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .MPV extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .MPV extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MPV file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MPV file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .MPV file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MPV file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MPV file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
