Extract text from MDT files
To convert your MDT file to another format, you need BlackVue Viewer or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Telemetry & Measurement Logs" file type, you need software like BlackVue Viewer or a similar tool.
The .MDT extension serves multiple technical roles, most frequently as a metadata sidecar file for Panasonic professional camcorders and BlackVue dashcams. In this context, the file contains critical GPS coordinates, speed logs, and timestamp data synchronized with the main video recording (usually MOV or MP4).
A common frustration users face is discovering an .MDT file and assuming it contains the video footage itself, only to find it cannot be played in media players like VLC. Because these files are proprietary binary or XML-structured logs, they require specific viewer software to visualize the route or telemetry. For archiving or analysis, users often need to convert this telemetry into universal formats like GPX (for mapping) or CSV (for spreadsheets).
Alternatively, in scientific fields, .MDT refers to Scanning Probe Microscopy data generated by NT-MDT Spectrum Instruments. These files store complex 2D/3D surface scans and spectroscopy data. Scientists struggle with the proprietary lock-in of the Nova software suite required to open them. To include these scans in research papers or presentations, the data must be converted into standard raster images (TIFF, PNG) or raw data arrays (TXT, ASCII) for processing in tools like MATLAB.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MDT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MDX, MDTM, MTD, MMDT, MP4, DCM, MD, MVD, MHT, MOV, JDR, ASPX and XAPK files.
If you want to convert MDT file to EST, UTC, CST, PST, IST, EDT, GMT, MP4, BST, MST, DB or SQLITE, you can use BlackVue Viewer or similar software from the "Video Metadata Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert NDF, SQLITE3, BAK, RDB, SQL, DB4, MDF, MDB, LDF, DB, DB3 or SQLITE files to MDT, try BlackVue Viewer or another comparable tool in the "Video Metadata Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MDT converter.
