What is PVTI file?
The file with the extension PVTI is the 3D Image Files file type. It was designed by Kitware, Inc.. In addition to this file, the 3D Image Files category includes 622 related files. Visualization Toolkit Parallel Image Data is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Visualization Toolkit (VTK). This was created by Kitware, Inc..
How to open PVTI file?
An often recurring problem with Visualization Toolkit Parallel Image Data is that PVTI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PVTI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PVTI 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 Visualization Toolkit (VTK)
In this case, you should first verify that the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Visualization Toolkit (VTK) into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PVTI with Visualization Toolkit (VTK). Below is a list of programs that support the file PVTI.
Programs to open PVTI file
Remember to download programs supporting PVTI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visualization Toolkit (VTK) with PVTI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PVTI file to open in the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PVTI file with the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) program.
Step 3. Update Visualization Toolkit (VTK) to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) program, it is possible that Visualization Toolkit Parallel Image Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Kitware, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PVTI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The PVTI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PVTI 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PVTI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PVTI 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 PVTI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PVTI files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Kitware, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PVTI 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PVTI to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PVTI file again. 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.
