How to open BDN file?
The most common problem when using Blu-ray BDN XML Subtitle Data Format is that a specific BDN is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BDN files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BDN 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 Subtitle Edit
The first step is to check if the computer has the Subtitle Edit program installed. This can be achieved by typing Subtitle Edit 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 BDN with Subtitle Edit. Below you will find a list of applications that support BDN files.
Programs to open BDN file
Remember to download programs supporting BDN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Subtitle Edit with BDN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BDN file still does not use the Subtitle Edit 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 BDN file with the Subtitle Edit program.
Step 3. Update Subtitle Edit to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Subtitle Edit program with the Blu-ray BDN XML Subtitle Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Nikolaj Lynge Olsson website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BDN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BDN file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BDN or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BDN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BDN file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BDN file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BDN 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 BDN file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BDN 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. However, some background programs may block the BDN file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
