How To Play .ifv Video File

If you are sure it's .ifv and not .ivf play it with the program that created it. If it can't be done, at least you will have an added usefull criterion when you 'll buy hardware with bundled software next time. I know I have. S.M.

Streamclip will play just about anything, and it's free.

Can't really find anything on a .ifv file, but Media Player Classic (MPC) WILL play .ivf's (and it's free) if that is what you meant to type.
