What is BPK file?

The file with the extension BPK is the Encoded Files file type. The creator of this file is Nero. In addition to this file, the Encoded Files category includes 236 related files. Nero SecurDisc Public Key Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Nero Multimedia Suite to handle this file. This is a program created by Nero AG. There are also 3 alternative programs to handle the BPK file. You can use Nero SecurDisc Viewer, Nero SecurDisc in case Nero Multimedia Suite cannot be used.

How to open BPK file?

An often recurring problem with Nero SecurDisc Public Key Format is that BPK is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BPK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BPK 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 Nero Multimedia Suite

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nero Multimedia Suite is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Nero Multimedia Suite into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BPK with Nero Multimedia Suite. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BPK files.

Step 2. Create association of Nero Multimedia Suite with BPK files

If, despite the installed application, the BPK file does not start in the Nero Multimedia Suite application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BPK file with the Nero Multimedia Suite program.

Step 3. Update Nero Multimedia Suite to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Nero Multimedia Suite program with the Nero SecurDisc Public Key Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Nero AG page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BPK 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BPK file. However, remember that not every infected BPK 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 BPK files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BPK files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nero, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BPK 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.
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. Copying the BPK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BPK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BPK to close. However, some background programs may block the BPK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
