Overview

What is an RMV file? An RMV file is a video file used by video games developed by Radical Entertainment, such as The Simpsons: Hit & Run and The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction . It stores in-game video sequences, which may include cutscenes, intros, or other pre-rendered content displayed during gameplay. Radical Entertainment developed the RMV format specifically for its proprietary game engine.

More Information RMV files are typically stored within the game's installation directory, often in a subfolder named movies or videos . For example, The Simpsons: Hit & Run saves RMV files in the The Simpsons Hit & Run/​movies folder. NOTE: The RMV format is similar to the Bink Video format ( .BIK ), which RAD Game Tools also develops.

How to open an RMV file

RMV files are not meant to be opened. Instead, the game packaged with the file references it to play in-game video sequences.

However, game modders may play or modify the files to alter gameplay. They may use media players, such as VideoLAN VLC media player and Media Player Classic to open and play the files.
