What is BVR file?

The file in the BVR format belongs to the Video Files category. It was designed by Perspective Software. In addition to this file, the Video Files category includes 546 related files. Blue Iris Video is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Blue Iris to handle this file. This is a program created by Perspective Software.

How to open BVR file?

The main problem with Blue Iris Video is that the BVR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BVR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BVR 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 Blue Iris

The first step is to check if the computer has the Blue Iris program installed. This can be achieved by typing Blue Iris into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support BVR files.

Programs to open BVR file

Remember to download programs supporting BVR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Blue Iris with BVR files

If, despite the installed application, the BVR file does not start in the Blue Iris application, you must create a file association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Blue Iris application as the default for handling the BVR file.

Step 3. Update Blue Iris to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Blue Iris program with the Blue Iris Video file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Perspective Software page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BVR file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The BVR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BVR file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BVR file. Sometimes virus-infected BVR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BVR files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BVR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Perspective Software help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BVR except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BVR to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BVR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BVR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
