How to open PTZ file?

The most common problem when using E-Transcript Bundle Format is that a specific PTZ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PTZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PTZ 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 E-Transcript Viewer

The first step is to check if the computer has the E-Transcript Viewer program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name E-Transcript Viewer in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PTZ files.

Programs to open PTZ file

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

Step 2. Create association of E-Transcript Viewer with PTZ files

If, despite the installed application, the PTZ file does not start in the E-Transcript Viewer 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PTZ file with the E-Transcript Viewer program.

Step 3. Update E-Transcript Viewer to the latest version

If, however, after binding E-Transcript Viewer with E-Transcript Bundle Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PTZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PTZ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PTZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PTZ files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PTZ file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PTZ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PTZ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PTZ to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
