How to open AXA file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AXA 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 VLC media player

The first step is to check if the computer has the VLC media player program installed. This can be achieved by typing VLC 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 AXA with VLC media player.

Programs to open AXA file

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

Step 2. Create association of VLC media player with AXA files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AXA file still does not use the VLC 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 AXA file with the VLC media player application.

Step 3. Update VLC media player to the latest version

If, however, after binding VLC media player with Annodex Digital Media 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 VideoLAN Project Team website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AXA file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AXA file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AXA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AXA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 AXA file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AXA 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the AXA file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the AXA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
