Step 2. Create association of CloneCD with DVD files
If, despite the installed application, the DVD file does not start in the CloneCD application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 DVD file with the CloneCD application.
Step 3. Update CloneCD to the latest version
If, however, after binding CloneCD with CloneCD DVD Information Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SlySoft website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DVD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DVD file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DVD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DVD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DVD file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DVD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SlySoft
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DVD 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. It is best to move DVD to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DVD 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. However, some background programs may block the DVD file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
