How to open AVI-2 file?
The most common problem when using GOM Media Player Data Format is that a specific AVI-2 is not associated with the program.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AVI-2 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 GOM Media Player

The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GOM Media Player in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file AVI-2.
Programs to open AVI-2 file
Remember to download programs supporting AVI-2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GOM Media Player with AVI-2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AVI-2 file still does not use the GOM Media Player program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AVI-2 file with the GOM Media Player application.
Step 3. Update GOM Media Player to the latest version
If, however, after binding GOM Media Player with GOM Media Player Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the GRETECH CORP. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AVI-2 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the AVI-2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AVI-2 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AVI-2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AVI-2 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AVI-2 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 file AVI-2 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the AVI-2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AVI-2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AVI-2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
