Assuming that I've not misunderstood, how does this compare to things like: TrID [0]?? Apart from being open source. [0] https://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
If not, try using something like trid to detect what the file is, and other tools like ffmpeg or imagemagick to see if they can read it. Source: 11 months ago
.vi is not a file extension commonly associated with any common video format. The closest I can find is that it's an Arcsoft VideoImpression Project file, which may or may not contain actual video data. This is their website but from what I can find the VideoImpression product is discontinued. You can use TrID on the file to see what it thinks the file type is based on its magic number.

You can try to use some tools that detect what extenstion file should have based on the content of the file, if the file is small, you can try https://www.checkfiletype.com/, otherwise you can try this tool: https://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html. Source: about 1 year ago
If file isn’t working (extensible as mentioned) you could try TRiD. Source: over 1 year ago
There's a program called TrID for identifying filetypes, and it seems that file does the same, though I don't know which one is more accurate. Source: over 1 year ago
Use for example TrID to get some idea of what these files are. Source: over 1 year ago
You could try using something like trid to check if the file is of some known format. In my experience I’ve rarely seen files like that using proprietary formats. Source: over 1 year ago
Anyway, if you are trying to open or mount the disk images, you are likely not to succeed. They don't use any of common file systems. Neither the almighty file command nor trid utility could identify the type of disks. Source: over 1 year ago
You can try using the Trid file identifier (largest database of file format) to scan the file format. I've tried on one file, and it is QuickBasic BSAVE binary data. So looks like you'll have to dig through the old BASIC compiler of Microsoft to somehow decompile the game. That's all I know, I've never used BASIC before, to be honest. Source: over 1 year ago
You could use something like trid to identify the type of DB it is and then go from there. Source: over 1 year ago
Alternatively you could try to throw a tool like TrID at it: https://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html. Source: over 1 year ago
There are a few hex/disk editors that support "templates" (but you need most times to create those yourself). Here is a sort of "curated list" of related tools: https://github.com/dloss/binary-parsing The most complete/populated I know of is Kaitai: http://kaitai.io/ http://formats.kaitai.io/ that you can use with Hiew with Kiewtai https://github.com/taviso/kiewtai If the question is slightly different, i.e. Which... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I really only use this to analyze executable files to figure out what they're compiled with, I don't know how good it is with other files but if it's spotty I would suggest TrID. Source: over 1 year ago
TrID is what I use for such cases, but it will be limited since it is a local client with a dictionary that has to be community maintained. Source: almost 2 years ago
It's binary data opened as text. Use https://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html to figure out what format it actually is. Source: almost 2 years ago
Download software called TRiD (https://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html) and run it against the file to determine the file format. Alternately, drag and drop the file to the anvil at: Https://www.itforarchivists.com/siegfried/ Post the results here. If those fail, send the file to me and I can analyze it for you, it's part of my day job. Source: almost 2 years ago
There's a program called TrID that can identify 14,547 file types (as of this writing). Sometimes I will come across a file whose extension is incorrect. I will either use a hex editor to view its header, or I'll scan it with TrID. Source: about 2 years ago
Just like u/BCProgramming said, it's a proprietary binary format. I checked the hex but it's unreadable. I used trid to identify the format as it might be a known file format with a different extension, yet, it gave me an incorrect guess. It is totally not a Z4 file. Source: over 2 years ago
So you need some software that can recognise a files content instead of looking at the extension. TrId can do that. Source: over 2 years ago
Download TrID (https://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html) to get the real underlying file format and than look for a viewer once you know the specific format. Source: about 3 years ago
