Tips to open MVL file
Can't open the MVL file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open MVL files as well as a list of programs that support MVL files.
MVL file extension
The MVL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MVL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MVL file on each system platform.
What is MVL file?
The file with the extension MVL is the 3D Image Files file type. In addition to this file, the 3D Image Files category includes 622 related files. Medison 3D Volume Data is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use 3D XI PC Viewer to handle this file. This is a program created by Samsung Medison.
How to open MVL file?
The main problem with Medison 3D Volume Data is that the MVL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MVL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MVL 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 3D XI PC Viewer
In this case, you should first verify that the 3D XI PC Viewer application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name 3D XI PC Viewer in it. 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 MVL files.
Programs to open MVL file
Remember to download programs supporting MVL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3D XI PC Viewer with MVL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MVL file still does not use the 3D XI PC Viewer program, it means no association. 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 select the desired program. 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 3D XI PC Viewer application as the default for handling the MVL file.
Step 3. Update 3D XI PC Viewer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the 3D XI PC Viewer program with the Medison 3D Volume Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Samsung Medison website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MVL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MVL file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MVL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MVL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MVL 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.
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 option of recovering data from damaged MVL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MVL 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. It is best to move MVL to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MVL 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. However, some background programs may block the MVL file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
