What is AAV file?

How to open AAV file?
The main problem with OccuRec Recorded Video Format is that the AAV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that AAV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AAV file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install OccuRec
The first step is to check if the computer has the OccuRec program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name OccuRec in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AAV with OccuRec. Below you will find a list of applications that support AAV files.
Programs to open AAV file
Remember to download programs supporting AAV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OccuRec with AAV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AAV file to open in the OccuRec application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AAV file with the OccuRec application.
Step 3. Update OccuRec to the latest version
If, despite the association of the OccuRec program with the OccuRec Recorded Video Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AAV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The AAV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AAV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AAV file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AAV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AAV files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AAV file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AAV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move AAV to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the AAV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AAV to close. However, some background programs may block the AAV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
