The nmv file extension is associated with Nintendulator, an open-source NES emulator developed by Quietust for Microsoft Windows.
An nmv file contains recorded gameplay input and related movie data, allowing an NES game session to be replayed in the emulator. It is an emulator data file rather than a standard video file.
The file is intended to be used with Nintendulator and is not a general-purpose movie format.
Open an nmv file with Nintendulator on Microsoft Windows. Load the file from the emulator's movie playback or recording controls, together with any game and supporting files required by the recording.
The file is not intended to be opened as a video in a media player.
There is no standard conversion method for nmv files. They contain Nintendulator playback data rather than video, so they should normally be replayed in Nintendulator.
To obtain a conventional video, replay the file in Nintendulator and capture the emulator window with separate screen-recording software.
