How to open DLOG file?

The main problem with Pro Tools Log Format is that the DLOG file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DLOG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DLOG 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 Pro Tools

The first step is to check if the computer has the Pro Tools program installed. This can be achieved by typing Pro Tools 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 is a list of programs that support the file DLOG.

Programs to open DLOG file

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

Step 2. Create association of Pro Tools with DLOG files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DLOG file to open in the Pro Tools application, but you can set it manually. 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 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 DLOG file with the Pro Tools application.

Step 3. Update Pro Tools to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Pro Tools program with the Pro Tools Log Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Avid Technology, Inc. page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DLOG 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. 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 DLOG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DLOG 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 DLOG 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DLOG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DLOG 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DLOG 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DLOG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DLOG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
