RMV files are game-video assets used by Radical Entertainment's Windows games, including The Simpsons: Hit & Run. They contain the videos shown by the game, such as its intro, outro and credits sequences.
The game loads these files as part of its internal data rather than treating them as ordinary standalone videos. They are therefore intended to remain with the game's files and are not generally useful outside the game.
The format is a proprietary game-video format and is not compatible with the RealMedia RMVB format.
Install and run the Windows version of The Simpsons: Hit & Run to use an rmv file. The game opens its video files internally when it reaches the relevant intro, outro or credits sequence.
An RMV file is not normally opened directly in a standard media player. Do not move or rename it if the game needs the file in its original location.
There is no standard conversion or export workflow for this proprietary game-video format. General-purpose video converters and media players may not be able to read an rmv file.
If the file is needed outside the game, extraction or conversion would require a tool specifically designed for The Simpsons: Hit & Run game data. Otherwise, the practical option is to leave the file in the game's original format.
