How to open AVI-3 file?
The most common problem when using GOM Media Player Data Format is that a specific AVI-3 is not associated with the program. This causes the file AVI-3 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AVI-3 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 first step is to check if the computer has the GOM Media Player program installed. This can be achieved by typing GOM Media Player into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AVI-3 with GOM Media Player. Below is a list of programs that support the file AVI-3.
Programs to open AVI-3 file
Remember to download programs supporting AVI-3 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-3 files
If, despite the installed application, the AVI-3 file does not start in the GOM Media Player application, you must create a file 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GOM Media Player application as the default for handling the AVI-3 file.
Step 3. Update GOM Media Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GOM Media Player program, it is possible that GOM Media Player Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the GRETECH CORP. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AVI-3 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AVI-3 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AVI-3 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected AVI-3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AVI-3 file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AVI-3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AVI-3 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the AVI-3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AVI-3 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AVI-3 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
