What is an MVR file?

MVR files mostly belong to MongoDB. Your MVR file serves one of two roles:

MongoDB Data File: This file holds structured records used in a database environment. Some files in this group are also known as Yamaha MVR-EX Recorder Files, which means they are tied to recording or similar applications. They require MongoDB client tools to view or manage the data.

Lighting Design File: This file is used by MA Lighting systems such as grandMA2 and grandMA3. It stores show data, including lighting cues and configurations, and uses the ZIP format internally. To open and view these files, you need the proprietary MA Lighting software.

FilExt.com note: Determine the file’s origin to choose the correct application. For database files, see MongoDB; for lighting design files, refer to MA Lighting.

How to open an MVR file

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

MVR file format details:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. 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. Below you will find our evaluation of the MVR files:

The MVR file extension is quite widespread and is primarily used by a single program. The file formats most commonly found in MVR files are:

• 75% of all MVR files start with the bytes 04 00 00 00 crucial for this file format. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. The files are 3 MB to 20 MB in size, with a median of 13 MB. This file type is new and state-of-the-art.
• 10% of all MVR files are based on the zip format, that is, an MVR file includes multiple compressed files. The number of files included is on average 28 and ranges from 5 to 210. Common included file names are GeneralSceneDescription.xml. A little tip: If you rename the file extension to .zip and then double-click, you will see the included files and images. The file size is in the range of 20 KB to 11 MB. The keywords GeneralSceneDescription.xml are typical for these files. Files like these are sometimes connected to stage, patch, festival, lights and light.

All the rest of the MVR files (15%) have different formats. The category is template, report or video. If you want to find out what your MVR file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
