what is a .vid file

video

that is roughly 0% helpful.

why

firefox can NOT open this

vlc can NOT open this

mpv can NOT open this

also, file says that it's "data". I'm guessing that this is a custom format.

that is a correct assumption

what do you want us to do with this then

i never asked for anybody to do anything

that is true

If MPV cannot play a file, it does not actually exist/contain video data.

it contains video data alright

If it did, MPV would play it. However, it doesn't. QED.

not necessarily true. perhaps it contains video data, but in a nonstandard format that MPV would not recognize.

my (totally definitely reasonable) hypothesis is that kit invented a nonstandard video file format and is trolling all of us.

i did invent a nonstandard video file format but i am not trolling

ah. the "trolling" part was non serious so i was 100% correct.

no

i was presenting a challenge

i am thinking this video is 80x60 pixels

i do not have time to figure it out today, because the file size mod (80 * 60) is not 4 and my hypothesis may be incorrect

what if it is 3

hint: it is compressed

hm is it zlib but without the zlib header

nvm this is probably an unfun challenge to yall
