What is an MVC file?

MVC files mostly belong to PowerDVD by CyberLink. MVC, short for Multiview Video Coding is a stereoscopic 3D video compression standard extended from H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) codec. MVC video compression uses an enhanced 3D video stream coding also known as 2D+ Delta to encode videos of a scene captured from different angles into a single stream. Panasonic and LG camcorders have been known to use MVC video compression standard. MVC video compression is also used in Blu-ray 3D movies, and 3D Television applications. The native MPEG MVC base video stream of a Blu-ray disc is saved in an M2TS file in the /STREM/SSIF/ directory. Movie Collector, a movie library management software saves data about a movie collection in an MVC file. MVC files are also used to save scripts compiled from MV modules containing source code written in Miva scripting language. These MVC files are binary scripts of Miva-based web applications hosted with Merchant Empresa server software.

How can I open an MVC file?

You need a suitable software like PowerDVD to open an MVC 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 MVC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a MVC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
