AMV Troubleshooting


Troubles Opening AMV Files

Missing VLC Media Player

When you double-click your AMV file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have VLC Media Player installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your AMV because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens AMV files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


VLC Media Player Requires Update

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of VLC Media Player installed that's incompatible with your Anime Music Video File type. Download the latest VLC Media Player version from the VideoLAN website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the AMV file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Conclusion: The majority of AMV file opening issues are due to not having the correct VLC Media Player version installed.


Other AMV File Issues

Even with the correct version of VLC Media Player installed, you can still experience difficulties opening AMVs. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening AMVs. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for AMV are wrong
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the AMV file in the Windows registry
  • VLC Media Player or another AMV application experienced a flawed installation
  • AMV file corruption
  • Malware-tainted AMV file can't be opened
  • Hardware associated with AMV has outdated drivers
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Anime Music Video File format

Poll: How many different computer files (eg. documents, videos, audio) do you typically view or edit on a daily basis?
