How to open DDC file?

An often recurring problem with DivX Descriptor Format is that DDC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DDC 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 DDC 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 DivX Descriptor

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DivX Descriptor is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DivX Descriptor in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DDC.

Programs to open DDC file

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

Step 2. Create association of DivX Descriptor with DDC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DDC file still does not use the DivX Descriptor program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 DDC file with the DivX Descriptor application.

Step 3. Update DivX Descriptor to the latest version

If, however, after binding DivX Descriptor with DivX Descriptor Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DDC 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. This suggests truncating the DDC 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DDC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DDC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DDC file. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DDC file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DDC 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move DDC 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DDC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
