What is a VC1 file?
VC-1 is a video codec developed by Microsoft and standardized by SMPTE as a rival to H.264. It was widely used for Blu-ray discs and Windows-based streaming applications.
Although VC-1 has become less common with the rise of H.264 and H.265, it is still supported by many modern players and editing tools.
How to open VC1 files
VC1 files can be opened with VLC, PotPlayer, and Windows Media Player (with the correct codec). They are often embedded in WMV or Blu-ray structures.
Use AnyConv to convert VC1 to MP4 if compatibility is an issue with modern systems.
