The MV file extension stands for an IRIX command compressed movie. It is a type of video file whose digital encoding is based on a 12-bit 4:2:2 digital YUV format. This format is commonly used in the production of high-quality professional video, making it a favored choice for high-resolution video editing and playback.
Compression Standards
The MV file extension is considered an uncompressed, or lossless, video format. It is also known as non-standard Interchange Format, which was developed by Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) for use with its proprietary IRIX operating system. The standard requires significant compression to be used for movies that are shot in Standard Definition (SD), with a maximum bitrate of 8 Mbps. For High Definition (HD) movies, the bitrate can be up to 20 Mbps. An MV file can save storage space while preserving image quality as long as it is compressed using proper compression standards such as MPEG4 or H.264.
Related File Types
The MV file extension can usually be found in files created on the Silicon Graphics Inc.'s IRIX platform, as well as files exported from other applications such as Adobe After Effects or Final Cut Pro. Other related file types include .AVI, .MPEG, .WMV, and .DIVX. Additionally, some Apple software applications may also use this file type for exporting and viewing videos.
Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MV) 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 .MV 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 .MV 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 .MV 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 .MV extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MV file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MV 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 .MV file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MV file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MV file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
