I am trying to open a .vc extension on ubuntu 18.04.

What I have tried?

  1. As far as this link says

    https://www.filemagic.com/en/developer-files/vc-file-extension/the-four-best-ways-to-open-vc-files/

    these softwares are suggested:

    • VIVID 2.0 INCLUDE FILE WITH COLOR DEFINITIONS

    • SONARC COMPRESSED VOC AUDIO

    • VERGE CODE FILE

    • VISICALC SPREADSHEET FILE

    But these are all windows based.

  2. I have also tried these online video converters and failed.

What i want

How can i open vc extension in ubuntu?

preferably without using wine or stuff like that. (And i am not even sure that wine can handle verge or vivid or ...!)

  • First, .vc is associated with multiple types of software, so is your file a video, a spreadsheet, a code file ? Where does it come from ? To know so, try to open it with a text editor, if you can see text it may be a script, if it is completely random chars it may be binary, so a multimedia file. – Kwaadpepper Apr 10 '20 at 13:27
  • @Kwaadpepper it's a video – Ava Apr 10 '20 at 13:32
  • Have you tried VLC ? https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html – Kwaadpepper Apr 10 '20 at 13:32
  • @Kwaadpepper yes and i failed. it shows random photos from the original video. – Ava Apr 10 '20 at 13:34
  • Maybe here you would find some answers https://superuser.com/questions/595177/how-to-retrieve-video-file-information-from-command-line-under-linux – Kwaadpepper Apr 10 '20 at 13:37
  • You could also try to convert it with ffmpeg https://askubuntu.com/questions/396883/how-to-simply-convert-video-files-i-e-mkv-to-mp4

    ffmpeg -i videofile.vc -codec copy videofile.mp4 This has to be run in terminal of course

  • Thank you but ffmpeg doesn't support vc files :( and it says "Invalid data found when processing input" – Ava Apr 10 '20 at 13:53
  • Have you tried to install more codecs from restricted ? https://askubuntu.com/questions/783810/quicktime-player-installation https://itsfoss.com/install-media-codecs-ubuntu/ – Kwaadpepper Apr 10 '20 at 13:59
  • Also you could have some more info using the vlc command : clvc to open your file – Kwaadpepper Apr 10 '20 at 14:09

    You can also try mediainfo sudo apt install mediainfo or sudo apt install mediainfo-gui – Kwaadpepper Apr 10 '20 at 14:11
  • I tried with installing codecs and it failed. and the other players couldnt play it either :( – Ava Apr 10 '20 at 14:20
  • I can't find info on .vc file on internet. Except this https://communication.aver.com/model/vcplayer i'm out of ideas sorry I think it is some kind of non standard format, so only the software that produced this format will be able to read it. – Kwaadpepper Apr 10 '20 at 14:27
  • Anyway thank you so much for your time :) @Kwaadpepper – Ava Apr 10 '20 at 15:00
