Extract text from Video index files (VIX)
To convert VIX Index files to another format, you need Genesis Database System or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Index File" file type, you need software like Genesis Database System or a similar tool.
A .vix file is a multi-purpose file format most commonly used as a database index for the Genesis Database System. However, the extension is heavily fragmented. It is also actively used as an XML-based Virtual Instrument source file by National Instruments LabVIEW, a video index file by the Lightworks video editor, and an image catalog index by the ViX image viewer.
The massive disadvantage of .vix files is this exact fragmentation. Because multiple unrelated software applications use the same extension, operating systems frequently assign the wrong default program to open them. Furthermore, index-based .vix files are strictly proprietary. They do not contain actual video, image, or database records - they merely hold metadata and binary pointers that tell the primary software where to find the data. This means they are completely useless if separated from their parent files. Opening a binary index file in a standard editor yields unreadable gibberish, and rebuilding lost indexes in software like Lightworks can severely bottleneck your workflow.
To make sense of these files, conversion or extraction is highly recommended. For the LabVIEW Virtual Instrument variants, convert the file to standard XML or TXT to review the source code without needing an expensive software license. For database and video indexes, extract the metadata into CSV to analyze file paths and database structures. Drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser.

Users also converted VIKX, MP4, INDEX, IND and TBI files.
If you want to convert VIX file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use Genesis Database System or similar software from the "Database and Media Indexing" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to VIX, try Genesis Database System or another comparable tool in the "Database and Media Indexing" 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 VIX converter.
