How to open file with .MSDVD extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .MSDVD file? Do you want to convert a .MSDVD file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .MSDVD

Full Name Developer Category
Microsoft Windows DVD Maker Format Microsoft Video Files
.MSDVD

The MSDVD (Windows DVD Maker Project File) file extension is an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) based file format. It is used by Microsoft Windows DVD Maker, a part of Windows Vista. This application allows users to author and burn DVDs with desktop-published content.

File Format Explanation

MSDVD files are plain text files that use XML elements and attributes to contain data about projects created in Windows DVD Maker. These elements and attributes include information about the project’s title, its photos and videos, and additional effects applied to the project. When the MSDVD file is opened for viewing in Windows DVD Maker, the software knows where to find the associated photos and videos but does not embed them inside the file itself.

Similar File Types

Files formatted with similar extensions include those associated with Adobe encoder and media video production programs such as:

  • .MPG
  • .MPEG
  • .ASF
  • .WMV
  • .WMA
  • .DIVX

.

Usage

MSDVD files are mainly used as a project template when creating DVDs with Windows DVD Maker. They are accessed by launching the software, clicking “File > Open Project” and selecting an associated MSDVD file. Other Microsoft related applications such as Movie Maker can open these files because Movie Maker recognises the basic XML format.

Programs for WINDOWS system
  • Microsoft Windows DVD Maker Microsoft Windows DVD Maker
  • Microsoft Windows 7 Microsoft Windows 7
  • Microsoft Windows Vista Microsoft Windows Vista

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MSDVD) 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 .MSDVD 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 .MSDVD 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 .MSDVD 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 .MSDVD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MSDVD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MSDVD 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 .MSDVD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MSDVD file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .MSDVD file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .MSDVD file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
