How to open IMV file?
The main problem with ImageMixerVCD Project is that the IMV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file IMV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IMV 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 ImageMixer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ImageMixer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ImageMixer into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file IMV.
Programs to open IMV file
Remember to download programs supporting IMV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ImageMixer with IMV files
If, despite the installed application, the IMV file does not start in the ImageMixer application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 IMV file with the ImageMixer application.
Step 3. Update ImageMixer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ImageMixer program with the ImageMixerVCD Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Pixela Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IMV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The IMV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the IMV 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IMV file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IMV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of IMV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IMV file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Pixela Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file IMV 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. 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 IMV file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IMV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
