You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .cvn. Files with the file extension .cvn can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .cvn files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

Files saved in the CVN format are also appended with the CVN extension, and these are data files used by the Sonic CineVision software. The CVN format and the Sonic CineVision program were developed by Sonic Solutions for the creation of multimedia disks. These CVN files are also specifically called CineVision encoding session files, and the content stored in these CVN files is used by the Sonic CineVision application as a disc encoding session associated to a project created by a Sonic CineVision user. The Sonic CineVision software is integrated with support for Blue-ray disk burning functionalities on top of its CD and DVD disk creation features. The data saved in these CVN project output files by a Sonic CineVision user includes directory locations of data files included by the user in the burning project as well as other configuration settings entered by the author of the CVN file. A CVN project output file can also consist of titles and other metadata details associated to each data file included in the Sonic CineVision project.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .cvn files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .cvn. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
