What is a .WVE file?

WVE files are video files that use Electronic Arts' proprietary TQI video format, which stores compressed video and audio for cinematic sequences in Windows PC games. Designed to deliver high-quality full-motion video while running efficiently on late 1990s and early 2000s hardware, the format was used for title animations, logo sequences, and in-game movies. Games that include WVE files include Wing Commander: Prophecy, The Sims, and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

You may come across WVE files while browsing the installation folders of classic Electronic Arts games or extracting video assets for modding or preservation. File Viewer Plus can play WVE files and convert them to the MP4 format to make them more compatible with devices and media players.
