Extract text from MAGIX project backups (MV_)
To convert MV_ backups to another format, you need MAGIX Movie Studio or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "Video Editing Project" file type, you need software like MAGIX Movie Studio or a similar tool.
An .mv_ file is an automatic backup created by MAGIX video editing software, specifically MAGIX Video deluxe and MAGIX Movie Studio (formerly Movie Edit Pro). These files serve as a safety net, generated periodically while you edit to prevent data loss in the event of a software crash or corruption of the primary MVD project file.
Because .mv_ files are proprietary project containers - not playable media - users often struggle when trying to open them. They do not contain actual video or audio footage; instead, they store references to media files on your hard drive, along with edit decisions, effects, and transitions formatted in a RIFF structure. Consequently, you cannot double-click to watch them in players like VLC, nor can you upload them to YouTube. To "convert" an .mv_ file for viewing, you typically must first restore it by renaming the extension to MVD (or the specific version's extension) and opening it in the original MAGIX software. Once the project is restored, you can use the software's export function to render the timeline into standard distribution formats like MP4 for web use, MOV for high-quality editing, or AVI for archiving.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MV_ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MVY, MEPX, HDP and MEP files.

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 MV_ converter.
