Extract text from game replays and logs (MVF)
To convert MVF replays to another format, you need MapView GIS or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Log & Data Files" file type, you need software like MapView GIS or a similar tool.
The .MVF file extension is shared by several highly specialized, proprietary systems. It most commonly functions as an IVERA traffic light controller log file, recording signal data and operational metrics for municipal infrastructure. It is also utilized as a legacy MapView vector map data file by the Ordnance Survey, a game replay video in Minesweeper Clone, and a firmware update configuration file for LG Electronics diagnostic tools like LGMV.
Because these are closed, proprietary formats, .MVF files present severe interoperability challenges. You cannot open them in standard media players, text editors, or modern data analysis tools. For example, LG firmware files require specialized diagnostic hardware, while MapView files rely on obsolete GIS software that lacks support for modern operating systems. This creates strict vendor lock-in, forcing users to maintain legacy systems just to access their historical map data or traffic logs.
Standard online converters fail to process .MVF files because they do not have access to the proprietary structural blueprints or encryption methods. For GIS data, converting to open standards like SHP or GeoJSON is ideal, but requires exporting directly from the original MapView software. Traffic logs are best converted to CSV or XML for spreadsheet analysis.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because often only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the exact format, inspect the internal hex data, and extract any readable text headers. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MVF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MKV, SCORE, FMS, EBT and MP4 files.
If you want to convert MVF file to MP4, you can use MapView GIS or similar software from the "Proprietary Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to MVF, try MapView GIS or another comparable tool in the "Proprietary Data 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 MVF converter.
