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

If, despite the installed application, the NRV file does not start in the Nero Multimedia Suite 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. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NRV file with the Nero Multimedia Suite application.

Step 3. Update Nero Multimedia Suite to the latest version

If, however, after binding Nero Multimedia Suite with Nero Video-CD Compilation there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Nero AG website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NRV 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NRV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NRV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NRV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NRV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NRV file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nero AG help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file NRV 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the NRV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NRV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
