MPE File Complications


Typical MPE Opening Challenges

VLC Media Player Removed

Double-clicking your MPE file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open MPE File". Usually, this is because you do not have VLC Media Player for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your MPE file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your MPE file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


VLC Media Player Requires Update

In other instances, your MPEG Movie file version may not be supported by your version of VLC Media Player. Visit the VideoLAN website to download (or purchase) the latest version of VLC Media Player. The primary cause of this problem is that your MPEG Movie file was created by a different (newer) version of VLC Media Player than what's installed.


Tip: If you right-click on your MPE file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening MPE files are due to having the wrong version of VLC Media Player installed.


Other Causes of MPE File Opening Problems

You can still experience errors opening MPE files even with the latest version of VLC Media Player installed on your PC. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening MPEs. Additional factors include:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for MPE
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry MPE description
  • Invalid installation of a MPE-associated program (eg. VLC Media Player)
  • Your MPE can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your MPE
  • Device drivers for MPE-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open MPEG Movie files
