MODD File Complications
Common MODD Opening Problems
Sony Picture Motion Browser is Not Installed
When trying to open your MODD file, you get the error "Can't Open MODD File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Sony Picture Motion Browser isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your MODD with Sony Picture Motion Browser, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your MODD file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Incorrect Sony Picture Motion Browser Version
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Sony Video Analysis File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of Sony Picture Motion Browser from Sony is recommended. 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: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your MODD file and clicking "Properties".
Primarily, problems experienced when opening MODD files are due to having the incorrect version of Sony Picture Motion Browser installed on your computer.
