How to open SSIF file?

The main problem with Blu-ray Stereoscopic Interleaved Movie is that the SSIF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SSIF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SSIF 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 PowerDVD

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PowerDVD is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PowerDVD into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SSIF files.

Programs to open SSIF file

Remember to download programs supporting SSIF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of PowerDVD with SSIF files

If, despite the installed application, the SSIF file does not start in the PowerDVD application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SSIF file with the PowerDVD program.

Step 3. Update PowerDVD to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the PowerDVD program, it is possible that Blu-ray Stereoscopic Interleaved Movie requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the CyberLink Corp. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SSIF file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SSIF file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SSIF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SSIF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SSIF files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SSIF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SSIF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SSIF file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SSIF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
