Convert VIV to MPG

Understanding viv and mpg file formats

VIV is a proprietary video file format, often associated with older multimedia applications and some video games. It is not widely supported by modern media players or editing software. MPG (or MPEG) is a standard video format that uses MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compression, making it compatible with most media players, video editors, and devices.
