How to open GMV file?

The main problem with Gens Game Recording is that the GMV file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open GMV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GMV 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 Gens

In this case, you should first verify that the Gens application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Gens in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file GMV.

Programs to open GMV file

Remember to download programs supporting GMV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Gens with GMV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GMV file to open in the Gens 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GMV file with the Gens program.

Step 3. Update Gens to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Gens program, it is possible that Gens Game Recording requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GMV 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 GMV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to GMV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GMV file. Sometimes virus-infected GMV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GMV 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GMV files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GMV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the GMV 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GMV file again. However, some background programs may block the GMV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
