How to open MXV file?
The main problem with MAGIX Video Format is that the MXV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MXV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MXV 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 Digital Foto Maker
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Digital Foto Maker is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Digital Foto Maker in it. 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 MXV.
Programs to open MXV file
Remember to download programs supporting MXV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Digital Foto Maker with MXV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MXV file still does not use the Digital Foto Maker program, it means no 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 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 Digital Foto Maker application as the default for handling the MXV file.
Step 3. Update Digital Foto Maker to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Digital Foto Maker program, it is possible that MAGIX Video Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MXV 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 MXV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MXV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MXV or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MXV 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 MXV 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MXV file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MXV 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.
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 MXV to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MXV file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
