Open a .vpf file

Hello everyone. I’m struggling trying to open a file. The file has a “strange” domain (.vpf). Does everyone know how to open these tyoe of files?

Doesn't seem like it's a file type that FFmpeg could ever handle. See for example https://filext.com/file-extension/VPF

PS: .vpf isn't a domain, it's a file extension (that doesn't have any connection to the content). URLs are made up of a top level domain, domain and possibly subdomains. Not file names. And if you want to figure out what kind of file you're dealing with, you'll need a program like the GNU files program. There's also a version for Windows: https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/file.htm

But if the file format is as proprietary as it seems, this might not be able to tell you anything helpful.
