What is a MOI file?

MOI files mostly belong to Everio by JVC. MOI files contain data about MOD videos (movies) recorded with Everio digital camcorders manufactured by JVC. Contents of MOI files include data such as bitrate, codec, timestamps, and duration. MOI data files are found alongside MOD video files which are standard MPEG-2-based VOB files with Dolby Digital audio. Some Canon and Panasonic camcorders also save additional video data in MOI files. Multimedia software such as VLC can play MOD videos. The MOI file is automatically opened when the MOD file is played.

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the MOI files looks like this:

90% of all MOI files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "56 36 00 00" at the beginning. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. The files are often between 310 bytes and 1 KB in size. This is an old file type which is rarely used today. The file name MOV00A.MOI or MOV001.MOI is typical for these files. Files like these are about sicile and mars.
