How to open BMK file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BMK 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the PowerDVD program installed. To do this, enter the name PowerDVD into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BMK files.
Programs to open BMK file
Remember to download programs supporting BMK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PowerDVD with BMK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BMK file still does not use the PowerDVD program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BMK file with the PowerDVD application.
Step 3. Update PowerDVD to the latest version
If, however, after binding PowerDVD with PowerDVD MovieMark 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 CyberLink Corp. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BMK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The BMK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BMK file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BMK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BMK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BMK 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BMK files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting CyberLink, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BMK 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BMK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BMK to close. 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.
