Parallels Desktop for Mac, from Parallels, is virtualization software for Apple macOS and Mac OS X. It allows users to create and run virtual computers on one physical Mac.
A .pvc file stores a copied configuration for a Parallels Desktop virtual machine. It is a backup copy of the virtual machine's pvs configuration file, which contains settings needed by Parallels Desktop.
The file is a supporting part of a virtual machine rather than a standalone document. Parallels Desktop handles it together with the associated virtual machine files, and its contents are intended for use by the virtualization software.
Open the associated virtual machine in Parallels Desktop for Mac on Apple macOS or Mac OS X. A .pvc file is a copied configuration file and is not normally opened separately.
A .pvc file is not normally converted to another format. It is a backup copy of a Parallels Desktop configuration file, not an independent document or virtual disk.
To use the information it contains, restore or use the configuration in Parallels Desktop for Mac rather than converting the file.

The Panasonic VM1 format is a proprietary voice-recording format used by Panasonic IC recorders, including the RR-US361 and RR-US360. A .pvc file stores recorded speech, such as an interview.
Panasonic Voice Editing software transfers recordings from compatible devices to a Windows computer and provides playback and recording-management features. The format is associated with older Panasonic recorders and legacy Windows software.
Open the .pvc file with Panasonic Voice Editing on Microsoft Windows to play the recording.
Panasonic Voice Editing can export Panasonic VM1 recordings to a common audio format such as WAV. Open the .pvc file in the software and use its export or conversion function.

The pvc file extension was used by some versions of Sage MAS 90, an accounting and financial management application for Microsoft Windows. Later versions of the program are known as Sage 100.
The exact contents and purpose of these files have not been documented reliably. They should therefore be treated as legacy Sage MAS 90 data files rather than as files with a generally supported standalone format.
It is likely that these .pvc files were used only in Sage MAS 90. Open them with a compatible Sage MAS 90 installation if possible.
Unfortunately, no reliable information is available about possible conversions for this type of .pvc file.
