The NUT file is supported on 4 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the NUT files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the NUT file on each system platform.
What is NUT file?
The NUT file has been categorized as Video Files. Video Files consists of 546 similar files. NUT Video Format is most often found on 4 operating systems. The file will work on iOS, Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. You can use MPlayer, iFunia VideoConvert in case FFmpeg cannot be used.
How to open NUT file?
The main problem with NUT Video Format is that the NUT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file NUT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NUT 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 FFmpeg
The first step is to check if the computer has the FFmpeg program installed. This can be achieved by typing FFmpeg into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NUT with FFmpeg. Below you will find a list of applications that support NUT files.
Programs to open NUT file
Remember to download programs supporting NUT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FFmpeg with NUT files
If, despite the installed application, the NUT file does not start in the FFmpeg 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NUT file with the FFmpeg application.
Step 3. Update FFmpeg to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FFmpeg program with the NUT Video Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NUT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NUT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NUT file. Sometimes virus-infected NUT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of NUT 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NUT files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NUT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the NUT file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NUT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NUT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
