The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FFINDEX 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 FFmpeg

Step 2. Create association of FFmpeg with FFINDEX files

If, despite the installed application, the FFINDEX file does not start in the FFmpeg application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FFINDEX file with the FFmpeg program.

Step 3. Update FFmpeg to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the FFmpeg program, it is possible that FFmpegSource2 Media Index requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FFINDEX 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FFINDEX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 FFINDEX file. Sometimes virus-infected FFINDEX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FFINDEX 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 FFINDEX files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FFINDEX 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.
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. It is best to move FFINDEX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FFINDEX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
