What are VGZ files and how to open them

Are you having problems opening a VGZ file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your VGZ files.

What is a VGZ file?

A .VGZ file is a VGZ Video file.

.VGZ files are video files compressed using Super Motion Image Compression Technology (SMICT). This technology is designed for high-speed video files, such as those used in security systems and other applications that require fast-motion video. The VGZ file format is designed to deliver high-quality video at high frame rates.

Specialized software or hardware that supports the SMICT algorithm can play the VGZ file format. Security camera systems, traffic cameras, and other high-speed video applications that require a fast frame rate often use these files.

Note that compared to other video compression technologies, such as H.264 or MPEG-4, the VGZ file format is not as widely supported. This is due to the fact that SMICT is a proprietary technology and that special software or hardware may be required in order to play back VGZ files. In addition, this format may not be compatible with some media players or video editing software.
