All about VID files
generic video file extension without a fixed standard
The .vid file extension is not a standardized video format, but it is commonly used by various hardware and software applications for video files. In most cases, a .vid file is simply a standard video (MP4 or AVI) that has been given the .vid file extension.
I am not aware of any specific source for .vid files. However, some manufacturers of surveillance camera systems use .vid as a file extension to "force" playback with their own software.
Often, a .vid file can be played by changing the file extension to .MP4. file-converter-online.com identifies the content of the .vid file based on various factors and automatically provides suggestions for possible conversions after upload.
