What is a BDMV file

BDMV files mostly belong to VLC by VideoLAN. BDMV extension is associated with information files for storing movie-related data on Blu-ray discs. The contents of BDMV files consist of information such as the names of files in the BDMV/ directory, location and formats of video clips, location of video clips' audio data, movie objects etc. They're typically found in the BDMV/ directory located at the root of a Blu-ray disc. The INDEX.BDMV file stores information describing the contents of the BDMV/ directory, MOVIEOBJECT.BDMV file stores information for one or multiple movie objects. Some Blu-ray discs optionally save a SOUND.BDMV file in the BDMV/AUXDATA/ directory. This SOUND.BDMV file is used to save sound-related data associated with HDMV Interactive Graphics streams applications.

BDMV format details:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Our examination of the BDMV files comes to the following conclusion:

The BDMV file extension includes different formats for different programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

• 50% of all BDMV files have the same signature INDX0. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. Most of these files are 120 bytes to 1 KB in size. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as INDX0200. A usual file name is index.bdmv.
• 40% of all BDMV files are associated with Blu-ray Disc Movie Information. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. BDMV files can be up to 130 KB in size, but are often around 82 bytes - 84 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: MOBJ0200. A common filename is MovieObject.bdmv.

All other BDMV files (10%) have no consistent format, frequently e.g. BDID and BCLK. If you want to find out which format your BDMV file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .bdmv file to analyze".
