What is an OV file?

OV files mostly belong to OpenViBE.

The OV file extension is used in several distinct ways. It may be an OpenViBE stream file stored in an MKV container.
More details can be found at OpenViBE.

It can also be a firmware upgrade file. In this case the file is associated with HiSilicon devices and is handled by the OV Upgrade Tool for updating firmware stored in NVRAM.

Other uses include:

Overlay or Overture files that carry overlay data. Additional info is available at Laplink.
QuickTime video format files using an MP4 container managed by QuickTime Player. See more at Apple Support.

FilExt.com tip: The actual purpose and function of an OV file depend on how and where it was created. Analyzing the file header (to reveal an MKV or MP4 structure, for example) can help decide which software to use.

How to open OV files

Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert.
