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

Step 2. Create association of ManyCam with MCV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MCV file to open in the ManyCam application, but you can set it manually. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MCV file with the ManyCam application.

Step 3. Update ManyCam to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ManyCam program, it is possible that ManyCam Effect requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Visicom Media Inc website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MCV 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MCV 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 MCV or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MCV 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 MCV 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.
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 MCV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MCV 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MCV file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MCV to close. 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.
