How to open DVDPROJ file?
The main problem with IDVD Project Format is that the DVDPROJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DVDPROJ, 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 DVDPROJ 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 iDVD
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that iDVD is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing iDVD into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open DVDPROJ file
Remember to download programs supporting DVDPROJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iDVD with DVDPROJ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DVDPROJ file still does not use the iDVD program, it means no 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the iDVD application as the default for handling the DVDPROJ file.
Step 3. Update iDVD to the latest version
If, despite the association of the iDVD program with the IDVD Project 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 Apple, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DVDPROJ 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 DVDPROJ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DVDPROJ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DVDPROJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DVDPROJ files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DVDPROJ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DVDPROJ 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DVDPROJ file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DVDPROJ to close. 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.
