How to open NRD file?

An often recurring problem with Nero DVD-Video Compilation Format is that NRD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NRD 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 NRD 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 Nero Multimedia Suite

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nero Multimedia Suite is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Nero Multimedia Suite 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 NRD.

Programs to open NRD file

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

Step 2. Create association of Nero Multimedia Suite with NRD files

If, despite the installed application, the NRD file does not start in the Nero Multimedia Suite application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Nero Multimedia Suite application as the default for handling the NRD file.

Step 3. Update Nero Multimedia Suite to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Nero Multimedia Suite program with the Nero DVD-Video Compilation Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Nero AG page and install.

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

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NRD file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NRD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NRD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NRD file. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NRD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Nero
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NRD 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move NRD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NRD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
