How to open PJS file?

The main problem with Phoenix Subtitles Format is that the PJS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PJS, 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 PJS 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 VLC media player

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that VLC media player is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing VLC media player into the operating system search engine. 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 PJS.

Programs to open PJS file

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

Step 2. Create association of VLC media player with PJS files

If, despite the installed application, the PJS file does not start in the VLC media player application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PJS file with the VLC media player application.

Step 3. Update VLC media player to the latest version

If, despite the association of the VLC media player program with the Phoenix Subtitles 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 VideoLAN Project Team page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PJS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 PJS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PJS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PJS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PJS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Phoenix Japanimation Society help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PJS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PJS file to another location.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file PJS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PJS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
