MMV file converter?

[JamieHollywood]

Does anyone know a fileconverter that converts MMV to more used formats (specifically one that works with windows media player)? Thanks for any help!

Around 20 years ago, I purchased a Sony IP5 which records in the .MMV format. This was so that I could record all of the early years of my daughter from baby up until ten year old.

Because tape can degrade over time, I took the decision around ten years ago to transfer all of the footage from the tapes to the hard drive of my PC. Here is a typical file listing as set out below:

MS20091025211043-05.mmv

On my latest Sony Viao, model number SVF15A1C5E, I find that these files are not playable no matter what software I use.

At this moment in time, I am extremely worried that these files will remain useless, can you help?

NOTE: I no longer have the IP5 or the tapes, just many gigabytes of files on a hard drive.

Can anyone help?
