Understanding MP4V Issues

Common Problems Opening MP4V Files

CyberLink PowerDVD Not Present

When trying to open your MP4V file, you get the error "Can't Open MP4V File Type". Customarily, this means that CyberLink PowerDVD is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your MP4V because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens MP4V files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

CyberLink PowerDVD Requires Update

In other instances, your MPEG-4 Video File file version may not be supported by your version of CyberLink PowerDVD. If you do not have the proper version CyberLink PowerDVD (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Your MPEG-4 Video File file was probably created by a newer release of CyberLink PowerDVD than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the MP4V file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Primarily, problems experienced when opening MP4V files are due to having the incorrect version of CyberLink PowerDVD installed on your computer.
