What is DCE file?
The file in the DCE format belongs to the Video Files category. The creator of this file is DriveCam. In addition to this file, the Video Files category includes 546 related files.

How to open DCE file?
The most common problem when using DriveCam Video Format is that a specific DCE is not associated with the program. This causes the file DCE 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 DCE 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 Event Player
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Event Player is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Event Player 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support DCE files.
Programs to open DCE file
Remember to download programs supporting DCE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Event Player with DCE files
If, despite the installed application, the DCE file does not start in the Event Player 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DCE file with the Event Player application.
Step 3. Update Event Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Event Player program, it is possible that DriveCam Video Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DCE 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 DCE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DCE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DCE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DCE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DCE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DCE file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DCE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DCE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DCE 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 DCE to close. 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.
