Adobe Encore Menu Template Format | Adobe Systems | Data Files |
The EM file extension is associated with the Encore Menu Template, a program used for the design and development of interactive DVD menus. An EM file contains the menu layout as well as the feature content information that is used to ensure that a DVD’s menu runs smoothly. EM files are a type of executable file that create the background layouts, text style, and other important features of the DVD menu.
Technical Details
The design of an EM file for a DVD menu includes a wide variety of components from graphics, sound choices, font sizes, and more. An EM file is an XML based format that contains instructions for loading images, video clips, music selections, and other media components that will comprise the final menu. All of these various elements are organized within an XML tree hierarchy with all elements’ attributes clearly stated in the text.
The EM file is compiled into the.ECP format by Encore Menu Compiler. Files with this extension can also be opened with Windows and Macintosh versions of Adobe Encore, which further allows for making additional changes before the final product is completed. Other similar projects include the ENX, ENV, and ENC files.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .EM) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .EM extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .EM file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .EM extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .EM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .EM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .EM file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .EM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .EM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .EM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
