What is MVE file?

The MVE file has been categorized as Video Files. It was designed by BioWare. Video Files consists of 546 similar files. Infinity Engine Movie Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. MDK will apply when it is not possible to use Near Infinity.

How to open MVE file?

The most common problem when using Infinity Engine Movie Format is that a specific MVE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MVE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MVE 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 Near Infinity

The first step is to check if the computer has the Near Infinity program installed. This can be achieved by typing Near Infinity into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support MVE files.

Programs to open MVE file

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

Step 2. Create association of Near Infinity with MVE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MVE file to open in the Near Infinity application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Near Infinity application as the default for handling the MVE file.

Step 3. Update Near Infinity to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Near Infinity program, it is possible that Infinity Engine Movie Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The MVE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MVE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 MVE file. Sometimes virus-infected MVE 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 MVE 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MVE files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MVE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MVE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MVE to close. However, some background programs may block the MVE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
