Programs to open SUP file

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

Step 2. Create association of SupRip with SUP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SUP file to open in the SupRip 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SUP file with the SupRip application.

Step 3. Update SupRip to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SupRip program with the Subtitle Bitmap Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SUP 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 SUP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SUP file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SUP file. However, remember that not every infected SUP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SUP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SUP file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SUP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SUP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 you have to wait for the session to the file SUP to close. 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.
