Step 1. Install Everio MediaBrowser

In this case, you should first verify that the Everio MediaBrowser application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Everio MediaBrowser into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MBV files.

Step 2. Create association of Everio MediaBrowser with MBV files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MBV file still does not use the Everio MediaBrowser program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Everio MediaBrowser application as the default for handling the MBV file.

Step 3. Update Everio MediaBrowser to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Everio MediaBrowser program with the JVC Everio MediaBrowser Movie file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Victor Company of Japan, Ltd. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MBV file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MBV file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MBV or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MBV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MBV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MBV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Victor Company of Japan, Ltd.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MBV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MBV file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MBV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MBV file again. However, some background programs may block the MBV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
