MKVtoolnix GUI Settings Format is supported by 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is MKVtoolnix. This was created by Moritz Bunkus. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs.
How to open MTXCFG file?
The most common problem when using MKVtoolnix GUI Settings Format is that a specific MTXCFG is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MTXCFG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MTXCFG file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install MKVtoolnix
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MKVtoolnix is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MKVtoolnix into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MTXCFG with MKVtoolnix. Below is a list of programs that support the file MTXCFG.
Programs to open MTXCFG file
Remember to download programs supporting MTXCFG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MKVtoolnix with MTXCFG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MTXCFG file still does not use the MKVtoolnix program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MTXCFG file with the MKVtoolnix application.
Step 3. Update MKVtoolnix to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MKVtoolnix program, it is possible that MKVtoolnix GUI Settings Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Moritz Bunkus website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MTXCFG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The MTXCFG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MTXCFG file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MTXCFG file. Sometimes virus-infected MTXCFG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MTXCFG file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MTXCFG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MTXCFG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move MTXCFG to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MTXCFG file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
