The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DAPROJ 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.

Programs to open DAPROJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of DivX with DAPROJ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DAPROJ file to open in the DivX application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 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 DAPROJ file with the DivX application.

Step 3. Update DivX to the latest version

If, however, after binding DivX with DivX Author Project 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 DivX, LLC page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DAPROJ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DAPROJ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DAPROJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DAPROJ file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DAPROJ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting DivX, LLC, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DAPROJ 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. It is best to move DAPROJ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DAPROJ to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
