The DMR file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DMR files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DMR file on each system platform.
What is DMR file?
The file in the DMR format belongs to the Data Files category. It was designed by BrainVoyager. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. BrainVoyager Diffusion Weighted Project Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs. BrainVoyager QX will apply when it is not possible to use BrainVoyager.
How to open DMR file?
An often recurring problem with BrainVoyager Diffusion Weighted Project Format is that DMR is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DMR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DMR 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 BrainVoyager
The first step is to check if the computer has the BrainVoyager program installed. To do this, enter the name BrainVoyager 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 DMR files.
Programs to open DMR file
Remember to download programs supporting DMR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BrainVoyager with DMR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DMR file to open in the BrainVoyager 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 DMR file with the BrainVoyager program.
Step 3. Update BrainVoyager to the latest version
If, however, after binding BrainVoyager with BrainVoyager Diffusion Weighted Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DMR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The DMR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DMR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DMR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DMR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DMR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DMR file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DMR files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DMR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DMR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. 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.
