What is a VCI file

VCI files mostly belong to VidCutter. VCI files serve two distinct roles. The main function is as a VidCom image file that stores scientific data. This format is used to hold visual records along with embedded experiment details and metadata.
Some VCI files capture simulation output. They record data from co-simulation systems and are used for network and vehicular simulation studies.

  • VidCom image: Stores scientific imaging data; managed by specialized tools such as VidCutter. For more details, visit sci-soft.
  • Veins simulation output: Contains simulation results and parameters; used in co-simulation environments, often linked with systems like OMNeT++. Learn more at Veins project.

FilExt.com tip: Use appropriate software to view these files so that all embedded information is displayed correctly.

How can I open a VCI file?

You need a suitable software like VidCutter to open a VCI file. 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. If you cannot open your VCI file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VCI file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
