Convert MVI files online for free
The converter easily converts your MVI file to various formats - free and online. No Word or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Video formats to MVI with high quality output.
The .MVI extension primarily identifies boot video files used by Dreambox satellite receivers (running the Enigma2 operating system). These files function as startup animations or 'boot logos' that appear when the device is powered on. While technically video data (often based on MPEG-1 or H.264 standards), they are packaged specifically for embedded hardware, meaning they lack the standard file headers required by consumer media players like Windows Media Player or QuickTime.
Users often have trouble when trying to preview custom boot logos on a PC or when attempting to edit these animations without specialized tools like TMPGEnc or specific Dreambox plugins. The file may also appear as a raw H.264 stream or a legacy PlayStation 2 movie asset, adding to the compatibility confusion. For general viewing, sharing, or editing, the most practical workflow is to convert .MVI files to widely supported formats. Convert to MP4 for compatibility with web browsers and mobile devices, or MKV to preserve the video stream quality for archiving. If you simply need to view the content, convert.guru allows you to transform the proprietary stream into a playable video instantly.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your MVI file.

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 MVI converter.
