How to open AVST file?
The most common problem when using VirtualDub Template is that a specific AVST is not associated with the program. This causes the file AVST to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AVST 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 VirtualDub
The first step is to check if the computer has the VirtualDub program installed. This can be achieved by typing VirtualDub into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AVST files.
Programs to open AVST file
Remember to download programs supporting AVST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VirtualDub with AVST files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AVST file to open in the VirtualDub 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AVST file with the VirtualDub application.
Step 3. Update VirtualDub to the latest version
If, however, after binding VirtualDub with VirtualDub Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Avery Lee page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AVST file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AVST file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AVST or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AVST files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AVST files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AVST file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Avery Lee
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AVST 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the AVST file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AVST file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
