Step 2. Create association of Windows Movie Maker with UVU files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UVU file to open in the Windows Movie Maker 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UVU file with the Windows Movie Maker program.
Step 3. Update Windows Movie Maker to the latest version
If, however, after binding Windows Movie Maker with Movie Maker Video Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UVU file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The UVU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UVU 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UVU file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected UVU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of UVU file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UVU files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UVU 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move UVU 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file UVU to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UVU file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
