Convert a file to NSV

To convert other file formats to the "Legacy Video Container" file type, you need software like Winamp or a similar tool.


About NSV files

The .NSV format is a legacy Nullsoft Streaming Video container developed by Nullsoft to deliver streaming video over the internet, functioning primarily on the SHOUTcast network.

Historically played through Winamp, these files are now typically opened using multi-format media players like VLC media player or MPlayer. You can learn more on the Wikipedia page for Nullsoft Streaming Video.

You will need to convert .NSV files because the format is entirely obsolete. The proprietary container is not supported by modern web browsers, smartphones, or smart TVs. Furthermore, it typically wraps legacy video codecs like VP3 or VP5, which frequently cause hardware decoding failures today. Professional video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro cannot read .NSV files natively, meaning you cannot edit the footage without a pre-conversion step.

For maximum compatibility across all devices and web playback, convert your .NSV files to MP4. If you are archiving the footage and want to preserve the legacy streams without quality loss, convert to MKV. To extract only the broadcast audio, choose MP3 or AAC. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser.
