The MKV3D file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MKV3D files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MKV3D file on each system platform.
What is MKV3D file?
The MKV3D file has been categorized as Video Files. In addition to this file, the Video Files category includes 546 related files. Matroska 3D Video Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is MKVtoolnix. This was created by Moritz Bunkus. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs. PowerDVD, MKVExtractGUI-2 will apply when it is not possible to use MKVtoolnix.
How to open MKV3D file?
The main problem with Matroska 3D Video Format is that the MKV3D file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MKV3D 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 MKV3D 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 MKVtoolnix
The first step is to check if the computer has the MKVtoolnix program installed. This can be achieved by typing MKVtoolnix into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file MKV3D.
Programs to open MKV3D file
Remember to download programs supporting MKV3D files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MKVtoolnix with MKV3D files
If, despite the installed application, the MKV3D file does not start in the MKVtoolnix application, you must create a file association. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 MKVtoolnix application as the default for handling the MKV3D file.
Step 3. Update MKVtoolnix to the latest version
If, however, after binding MKVtoolnix with Matroska 3D Video Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Moritz Bunkus website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MKV3D 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MKV3D files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MKV3D file. However, remember that not every infected MKV3D 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 MKV3D 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MKV3D file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MKV3D files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MKV3D file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MKV3D file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
