Extract text from Video tutorials and 3D components (VCM)
To convert VCM Tutorials and components to another format, you need DELMIA or other Compressed software.
To convert other file formats to the "Video and 3D Archive" file type, you need software like DELMIA or a similar tool.
The .vcm file extension is primarily used as a compressed archive format, masking its true structure to associate with specific software. Most commonly, it functions as a RAR-packaged video tutorial lesson for the Virtual Training Company (VTC) or as a Video Capture Manager file in ChessBase software. Alternatively, it serves as a ZIP-based 3D factory simulation and robot component for Visual Components or Dassault Systèmes DELMIA. It is also historically used for packaging mod files for the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City via the Vice City Mod Manager.
The main disadvantage of .vcm files is their proprietary nature. Because they are simply standard archives using a custom extension, standard media players and 3D viewers cannot recognize or open them natively. Users without the original, sometimes expensive or legacy software are entirely locked out of the media or 3D geometry inside.
To bypass these limitations, the file must be unpacked and converted. For video tutorials, converting the extracted media to MP4 ensures web compatibility, while MKV is ideal for lossless archiving. For 3D simulation files, extracting the archive reveals the raw geometry, which can then be converted to universally accepted formats like OBJ or STEP for CAD editing.
Convert.Guru analyzes your VCM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted VCF, DCM, JPG, RPF, GFX and GCI files.
If you want to convert VCM file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use DELMIA or similar software from the "Archive Container" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to VCM, try DELMIA or another comparable tool in the "Archive Container" category.
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 VCM converter.
