How to open DLX file?
The most common problem when using Sony VDU Format Importer is that a specific DLX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DLX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DLX 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 Adobe Premiere Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Premiere Pro program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe Premiere Pro in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support DLX files.
Programs to open DLX file
Remember to download programs supporting DLX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Premiere Pro with DLX files
If, despite the installed application, the DLX file does not start in the Adobe Premiere Pro application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Premiere Pro application as the default for handling the DLX file.
Step 3. Update Adobe Premiere Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Premiere Pro program, it is possible that Sony VDU Format Importer requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DLX 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 DLX 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DLX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DLX 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 DLX 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DLX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Sony
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DLX 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 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 DLX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
