Extract text from Embroidery and replay files (PMV)
To convert PMV Files to another format, you need EA BattleForge or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Replay & Embroidery Data" file type, you need software like EA BattleForge or a similar tool.
A .PMV file primarily functions as either a game replay file for EA Phenomic BattleForge or an embroidery stitch data pattern used by Brother PE-Design. Less commonly, it serves as a spreadsheet template for SoftMaker PlanMaker or a legacy video file in the classic game Return to Zork.
Proprietary formats like .PMV present significant accessibility challenges. BattleForge replay files are not actual video files; they contain coordinate and event data that only the game engine can render. This means they are completely unreadable by standard media players like VLC. Brother embroidery files are similarly restricted, requiring proprietary hardware or expensive digitizing software to view or edit the stitch patterns.
Users typically need to convert these files to overcome hardware and software lock-in. Game replays are often recorded to MP4 for sharing, while Brother files require conversion to standard PES or DST formats for broader machine compatibility. Because .PMV files rely on closed, proprietary encoding, standard online converters almost always fail to process them. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view the hex code or text, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be successful.

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 PMV converter.
