A VIV file is a video file extracted from a PlayStation (PS1) game. It contains video clips played in the game. VIV files are rare; PS1 games more commonly use videos saved in the .STR (PlayStation Video Stream) format.

There are no known programs that can open VIV files.

A VIV file is a video saved in a format created by Vivo software. It is typically used for storing adult videos. VIV files were replaced by .RM files.

VivoActive products were discontinued in 1997 and integrated into RealMedia. The format was still supported by RealPlayer for a number of years but is no longer supported.

A VIV file is a game data archive used by an EA Sports video game, such as Cricket 07 or NBA Live 99. It contains multiple files used to show and animate an in-game object. For example, VIV files contain .FSH files, which are used to apply shadows and colors to an object.

In the NBA Live series, VIV files contain all the data needed to show and animate a player. These files are named plrdata#.viv.

Modders interested in editing the game data that VIV files contain can use the EA Graphics Editor (Windows) to open VIV files and edit their contents. However, because the EA Graphics Editor is no longer regularly updated, it may not fully support newer VIV files.
