Extract text from VMS files
To convert your VMS file to another format, you need CasaXPS or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Spectroscopy Data Exchange" file type, you need software like CasaXPS or a similar tool.
The .vms file extension is a dual-purpose format that creates significant confusion for users. Primarily (51% of usage), it represents VAMAS (Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards) data, a standard ASCII format used by scientists to exchange surface chemical analysis data like XPS or AES. While these files are text-based, they contain rigid headers and data blocks that are difficult to visualize without specialized, often expensive software like CasaXPS. Simply opening them in a text editor provides raw numbers but no graphical spectra, making them unsuitable for presentation or quick analysis.
Alternatively, .vms files are proprietary video recordings generated by Foscam IP cameras and NVRs (Video Management Systems). These files are problematic because they use non-standard codecs that fail to play in default operating system media players like Windows Media Player or QuickTime. Users are often left with critical security footage they cannot view or share with law enforcement.

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 VMS converter.
