How to open BSF file?

The most common problem when using Blu-ray AVC Video Format is that a specific BSF is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BSF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BSF 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 Roxio Popcorn

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Roxio Popcorn is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Roxio Popcorn 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 BSF with Roxio Popcorn. Below you will find a list of applications that support BSF files.

Step 2. Create association of Roxio Popcorn with BSF files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BSF file to open in the Roxio Popcorn application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 BSF file with the Roxio Popcorn application.

Step 3. Update Roxio Popcorn to the latest version

If, however, after binding Roxio Popcorn with Blu-ray AVC Video 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 Roxio website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BSF 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BSF file. However, remember that not every infected BSF 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 BSF files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BSF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BSF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the BSF file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 BSF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
