About SBZ files
SBZ files, associated primarily with ShowBiz DVD software, are project files that store video editing data. While these files are useful for saving editing work, they pose significant challenges when it comes to compatibility and conversion, as they are not actual video files but rather contain references to video content used in a project.
Converting SBZ files can be difficult because they aren't self-contained; they rely on external media files. This dependency makes it hard to directly convert them into standard video formats like MP4, AVI, or MOV without first exporting the project within ShowBiz DVD. Additionally, proprietary nature means limited support across different software platforms.
To convert SBZ files, you should first use ArcSoft ShowBiz to export your project into a video format. Once exported, you can use software like VLC Media Player or HandBrake for further conversion into formats such as MP4, AVI, or MKV.
One major drawback of SBZ files is their limited usability outside of ShowBiz DVD, which can be frustrating for users who want to share or archive their projects in universally accessible formats. These files also risk being obsolete as support for older software dwindles.
Despite these challenges, the free and user-friendly Convert.Guru provides a seamless solution. Simply drag and drop your SBZ files onto the website, and convert them effortlessly into a wide range of formats, ensuring your projects are preserved and accessible.
The SBZ Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best SBZ converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
