Step 2. Create association of Panasonic HD Writer with CONT files
If, despite the installed application, the CONT file does not start in the Panasonic HD Writer application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Panasonic HD Writer application as the default for handling the CONT file.
Step 3. Update Panasonic HD Writer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Panasonic HD Writer with Panasonic Camcorder Extra 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 Panasonic Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CONT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CONT file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CONT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CONT 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 CONT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CONT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Panasonic Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CONT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CONT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CONT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
