The fvt file extension identifies the Fast Search & Transfer video format. It was used with a Java applet player and an EPOC native code player developed by FAST Search & Transfer ASA.
An fvt file contains video data intended for playback by one of those Fast Search & Transfer players. The format is associated with the MIME type video/vnd.fvt.
This is a legacy format, and no known current mainstream software provides built-in support for fvt files.
To open an fvt file, use the original Fast Search & Transfer Java applet player or EPOC native code player, if that software is still available. We do not know of any current general-purpose media player that supports this format.
We have no information about a specific converter for fvt files. If the original Fast Search & Transfer software provides an export function, that is the most appropriate conversion method; otherwise, conversion may not be possible. Video files can sometimes be converted between formats.
