Step 2. Create association of Volocity 3D Image Analysis Software with MVD2 files

If, despite the installed application, the MVD2 file does not start in the Volocity 3D Image Analysis Software 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.

If, however, after binding Volocity 3D Image Analysis Software with Volocity Data Set Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the PerkinElmer Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MVD2 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The MVD2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MVD2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MVD2 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MVD2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MVD2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MVD2 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MVD2 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. It is best to move MVD2 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MVD2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. 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.
