MicroMV is a proprietary videotape format introduced in October 2001 by Sony.

It was the first helical scan tape system using MR read head introduced to the market.

Footage recorded on MicroMV format initially could not be directly edited with mainstream DV editing software such as Adobe Premiere or Apple Final Cut Pro; instead Sony supplied its own video editing software MovieShaker (for Windows PCs only).

Later versions of Ulead Video Studio and several freeware applications however could capture and edit from Sony MicroMV Camcorders.
