Step 2. Create association of DiskImageMounter with DVDR files

It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

The DVDR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DVDR file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DVDR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DVDR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DVDR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DVDR files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DVDR 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DVDR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DVDR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DVDR file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DVDR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
