What is a DMV file

DMV files mostly belong to Canon Camcorder Utility. The DMV file extension mainly denotes a Canon digital movie file used by Canon digital camcorders. This file stores video footage along with device‐specific metadata, which helps in playback and sometimes editing on Canon systems.
Other uses for the DMV extension include:

Game Cutscene Data: Files that hold in‐game cinematics, seen in titles such as Dragon Nest and referenced in works like Dragon's Dogma or Devil May Cry 5.

Data Matrix Value Files: Files that contain matrix data used for video processing by systems like Apollo 5.0. More information is available at Apollo Developer.

DeepMap Vehicle Data: Files that store sparse feature matrices for vehicle mapping in autonomous systems.

FilExt.com tip: For Canon-produced DMV files, visiting the Canon Global site can provide device‐specific tools. Because the same extension is used for different specialized data types, it is wise to check file properties and use the correct software for opening or converting each file.

DMV format details:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our examination of the DMV files comes to the following conclusion:

As a file extension, DMV isn't very common and includes various formats for various programs. But the following two file formats are common:

50% of all DMV files use the same file format, which have the signature DMMV0. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. The files are on average 130 KB in size and range from 130 KB to 520 KB. The file type was developed only in the last few years. The keywords DMMV0100, ftypmp42, mp42avc1CAEP, F+jH and uuid are typical for these files.
6% of all DMV files use the same file format, which have the signature DN_CutSceneData. These files are not pure binary files and are therefore readable and interpretable with a text editor. A typical file size is 360 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: DN_CutSceneData =, DN_CutSceneData = {}, Type = 0.000000, Use_Scene_End_Clipping = 0.000000, Used_Resource_Set =, SceneStart and Scene_Academic_Not_Supported = 0.000000. Such files are related to bossa.

The remaining 44% of all DMV files are files with no common format. If you want to find out what your DMV file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
