Programs to open DDV file

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

Step 2. Create association of with DDV files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DDV file still does not use the program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 DDV file with the application.

Step 3. Update to the latest version

If, despite the association of the program with the Oddworld: Abes Oddysee Movie Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DDV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DDV or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DDV 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 DDV files changes over time. 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 option of recovering data from damaged DDV files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DDV 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. If possible, you can try to move the DDV file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DDV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DDV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
