How to open IXB file?

The most common problem when using Ulead Disc Image is that a specific IXB is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open IXB, 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 IXB 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 MovieFactory

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MovieFactory is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MovieFactory into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IXB with MovieFactory. Below you will find a list of applications that support IXB files.

Step 2. Create association of MovieFactory with IXB files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IXB file still does not use the MovieFactory program, it means no 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 IXB file with the MovieFactory program.

Step 3. Update MovieFactory to the latest version

If, despite the association of the MovieFactory program with the Ulead Disc Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IXB 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IXB file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IXB file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IXB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IXB 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.
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 IXB files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IXB 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. Copying the IXB file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
