About XMV files

A .XMV file is an Xbox Media Video file. Microsoft developed this proprietary format specifically for the original Xbox console to store in-game cutscenes, full-motion video (FMV), and animated menus. Some of these files use a variation of the Bink video codec created by RAD Game Tools.

Because the format was hardware-optimized for a console released in 2001, it is now entirely obsolete. You cannot open .XMV files natively on Windows, macOS, or any mobile device. Standard video editors like Adobe Premiere Pro will reject the file, and web browsers cannot play it. If you are extracting assets from old Xbox game discs for archival or modding purposes, you will immediately hit a compatibility wall.

To view or edit the footage, you must convert the file to a modern standard. For broad playback on phones and web browsers, convert to MP4. If you need to preserve original quality and multiple audio streams, convert to MKV. For legacy video editing workflows, use AVI. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.
