How to open ON2 file?
An often recurring problem with On2 Encoded FLV is that ON2 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ON2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ON2 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 Windows Media Player
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Windows Media Player is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Windows Media Player into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open ON2 file
Remember to download programs supporting ON2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Media Player with ON2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ON2 file to open in the Windows Media Player application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ON2 file with the Windows Media Player program.
Step 3. Update Windows Media Player to the latest version
If, however, after binding Windows Media Player with On2 Encoded FLV there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ON2 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:
The ON2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ON2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ON2 file. However, remember that not every infected ON2 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 ON2 file. 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 ability to automatically repair ON2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ON2 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ON2 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ON2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ON2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
