How to open MK3D file?
An often recurring problem with Matroska 3D Video Format is that MK3D is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MK3D files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MK3D 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 PowerDVD
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PowerDVD is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name PowerDVD 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 MK3D files.
Programs to open MK3D file
Remember to download programs supporting MK3D files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PowerDVD with MK3D files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MK3D file still does not use the PowerDVD program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 MK3D file with the PowerDVD program.
Step 3. Update PowerDVD to the latest version
If, however, after binding PowerDVD with Matroska 3D Video Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the CyberLink Corp. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MK3D file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The MK3D file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MK3D files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MK3D or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected MK3D file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MK3D files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MK3D files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Matroska
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MK3D 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. If possible, you can try to move the MK3D file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MK3D to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MK3D file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
