Step 2. Create association of Windows Movie Maker with DTCP-IP files

The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DTCP-IP file with the Windows Movie Maker program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DTCP-IP file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The DTCP-IP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DTCP-IP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DTCP-IP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DTCP-IP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DTCP-IP 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DTCP-IP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DTCP-IP 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DTCP-IP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DTCP-IP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
