Step 1. Install Roxio Popcorn

In this case, you should first verify that the Roxio Popcorn application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Roxio Popcorn 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 you will find a list of applications that support KMV files.

Step 2. Create association of Roxio Popcorn with KMV files

If, despite the installed application, the KMV file does not start in the Roxio Popcorn application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Roxio Popcorn application as the default for handling the KMV file.

Step 3. Update Roxio Popcorn to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Roxio Popcorn program with the Mobile DJ Video Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 KMV 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the KMV file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KMV or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KMV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KMV file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KMV file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KMV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move KMV to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the KMV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KMV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KMV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
