What is MVI file?
The file with the extension MVI is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is Autodesk. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files.

How to open MVI file?
The main problem with AutoCAD Movie Command Format is that the MVI file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open MVI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MVI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install AutoCAD
In this case, you should first verify that the AutoCAD application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing AutoCAD into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MVI with AutoCAD. Below you will find a list of applications that support MVI files.
Programs to open MVI file
Remember to download programs supporting MVI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with MVI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MVI file still does not use the AutoCAD program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MVI file with the AutoCAD program.
Step 3. Update AutoCAD to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the AutoCAD program, it is possible that AutoCAD Movie Command Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Autodesk, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MVI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MVI file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MVI file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MVI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MVI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MVI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Autodesk
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MVI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move MVI to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MVI to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
