Programs to open PMPD file
Remember to download programs supporting PMPD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Panasonic HD Writer with PMPD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PMPD file to open in the Panasonic HD Writer 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 PMPD file with the Panasonic HD Writer application.
Step 3. Update Panasonic HD Writer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Panasonic HD Writer program, it is possible that Panasonic Camcorder Extra requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Panasonic Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PMPD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The PMPD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PMPD 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PMPD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PMPD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PMPD 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PMPD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Panasonic Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PMPD 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PMPD file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
