How to open DINFO file?
The most common problem when using DivX Temporary Video Info Format is that a specific DINFO is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DINFO, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DINFO 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DivX is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DivX into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DINFO files.
Programs to open DINFO file
Remember to download programs supporting DINFO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DivX with DINFO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DINFO file to open in the DivX application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DINFO file with the DivX program.
Step 3. Update DivX to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DivX program with the DivX Temporary Video Info Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the DivX, LLC website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DINFO file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DINFO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DINFO file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DINFO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DINFO files changes over time. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DINFO files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact DivX
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DINFO 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.
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 DINFO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DINFO file again. However, some background programs may block the DINFO file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
