The .san file extension is often associated with LucasArts Smush Animation Format files. The file format was developed by LucasArts Entertainment for use in their games. SAN files contain full motion video used for displaying action scenes.
SAN files are binary files that do not contain text. The most common program for handling them is Outlaws, but other compatible programs exist. SAN files belong to the Video Files category along with many other formats.
To associate SAN files with the correct application in Windows, right click any SAN file. Click “Open with”>”Choose another app”. Select the desired program and check “Always use this app”. On Mac, right click the SAN file and click “Open with”>”Other…”. Then select the program and check the “Always Open With” box.
Verify that any SAN file is not infected before trying to open it. If an antivirus blocks the file, it may be necessary to take precautions before accessing the file. Users opening shared SAN files should have instructions on compatible editors, converters or printers. This can help determine proper programs for handling the files.
