Extract text from Netviewer recordings (NVL)
To convert NVL recordings to another format, you need Netviewer Player or other Video software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Meeting Recording" file type, you need software like Netviewer Player or a similar tool.
The .NVL file is primarily a web conference session recording created by Netviewer, a desktop sharing and collaboration software. These files capture screen data, audio, and participant interactions from online meetings. A very small percentage of .NVL files function as UniChem Results Files generated by legacy Oxford Molecular software.
Users must convert .NVL files because the format is entirely proprietary and effectively obsolete. Netviewer was acquired by Citrix in 2011. The original software is discontinued, and standard media players like VLC or Windows Media Player cannot decode the proprietary video and audio streams. This locks user data inside an inaccessible container.
Converting .NVL to standard targets like MP4, AVI, or MKV is the only way to ensure long-term archiving and playback compatibility across modern web browsers and mobile devices. During video conversion, interactive elements like chat logs or participant lists embedded in the original recording are typically lost, leaving only the primary audio-visual streams.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because standard online converters fail to parse its undocumented container structure. Often, only the original legacy player can properly read or export the data. However, you can drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view its hex data, and inspect internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format within the .NVL container, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your NVL file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TVS and BAW files.
If you want to convert NVL file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use Netviewer Player or similar software from the "Web Conference Session Recording" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

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 NVL converter.
