NVB file format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our analysis of the NVB files produces the following result:

The NVB file extension is not found very often and is primarily used by a single program. The two most common formats are as follows:

90% of all NVB files have the same signature TAPE. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. NVB files can be up to 910 MB in size, but are often around 5 MB - 44 MB. The file type was developed only in the last few years. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, RAID, SPAD and TAPE. Such files are related to project, interviews, research, nvivo, interview, thesis, paper, study and data.
