How to open MODD file?

Programs to open MODD file
Remember to download programs supporting MODD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Picture Motion Browser with MODD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MODD file to open in the Picture Motion Browser 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MODD file with the Picture Motion Browser application.
Step 3. Update Picture Motion Browser to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Picture Motion Browser program, it is possible that Sony Video Analysis Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MODD 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MODD file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MODD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MODD 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 MODD files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MODD file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MODD 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. 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 MODD 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 MODD to close. However, some background programs may block the MODD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
