Extract text from Womble project files (WGV)
To convert WGV project files to another format, you need Roxio Creator or other Video software.
To convert other file formats to the "Video Project File" file type, you need software like Roxio Creator or a similar tool.
The .WGV file is a proprietary video project file used for DVD authoring. It is primarily created by Womble MPEG Video Wizard or Roxio Creator NXT Pro. These files store timeline arrangements, transition effects, menus, and file paths to the original raw video and audio files used in a video editing session. They do not contain the actual video or audio bitstreams.
Users frequently try to convert .WGV files to standard video formats to share their projects, but face major roadblocks. Because the format is proprietary and only contains edit decisions, standard online video converters will fail to process it. The format requires the original desktop software, which often comes with a paid subscription or license, and relies on the original media files being present on your local hard drive.
The optimal target format for a finalized DVD project is MP4 or MPEG2 for broad compatibility. However, you must render the project to these formats using the original authoring software. Any transitions or menus not supported by standard video files will be flattened or lost during the export.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary text or binary structure meant only for its parent application. Standard converters cannot trace the local file paths to assemble the video. Just drag and drop your file to convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing raw metadata or extracting source file names may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WGV file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MS8, MS9 and SS4 files.
If you want to convert WGV file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Roxio Creator or similar software from the "DVD Authoring Project File" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to WGV, try Roxio Creator or another comparable tool in the "DVD Authoring Project File" 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 WGV converter.
