How to open MJP2 file?

The most common problem when using JPEG 2000 Motion Sequence Format (ISO 15444-3) is that a specific MJP2 is not associated with the program. This causes the file MJP2 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 MJP2 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 Adobe Premiere Pro

The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Premiere Pro program installed. To do this, enter the name Adobe Premiere Pro into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MJP2 files.

Programs to open MJP2 file

Remember to download programs supporting MJP2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Premiere Pro with MJP2 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MJP2 file to open in the Adobe Premiere Pro application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Premiere Pro application as the default for handling the MJP2 file.

Step 3. Update Adobe Premiere Pro to the latest version

If, however, after binding Adobe Premiere Pro with JPEG 2000 Motion Sequence Format (ISO 15444-3) there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MJP2 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The MJP2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MJP2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 MJP2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MJP2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MJP2 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MJP2 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MJP2 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 MJP2 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MJP2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MJP2 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
