My pc Video file folders (various video formats) now show a .VIX file associated with each video. Searching the web I get this ... The VIX file type is primarily associated with 'ACUCOBOL-GT' by Acucorp.

Guess what ... I ain't a clue what I am looking at

What are they used ... can I delete them? It is possible that they were created (for some reason) when I recently installed a fast video cut/edit programme just to trial as maybe a value add to PD11.

Check this link, it explains what the .VIX file extension is supposed to be for:

If you have not installed that program on your computer, I think you may have malware on your computer.

VIX files can also be an index file for an image catalog used by some apps. Seems the extension might be associated with this by where you are finding them.

I'd certainly scan for malware or a virus but if those results are -ve I wouldn't worry too much about them.

They may not open directly via an app but may be used by an app you have installed. PD12 Ultimate Suite (upgrade from PD11 Ultimate). PhotoDirector 5. PowerDVD13. YouCam 5.

Thanks for your replies.

After a lot of checking around I have found that these files are associated with a video edit programme that I am trialling. As I understand it, these .vix files enables the software to optimise and improve performance of H.264/AVCHD files in MTS containers so that they play smoothly. And that's what my Sony cam produces.

So I can 'rest easy'
