The ECC file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the ECC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the ECC file on each system platform.
What is ECC file?
The ECC file has been categorized as Data Files. It was designed by dvdisaster. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. Dvdisaster Error Correction Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use dvdisaster to handle this file. This is a program created by Carsten Gnörlich. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the ECC file.
How to open ECC file?
An often recurring problem with Dvdisaster Error Correction Format is that ECC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ECC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ECC 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 dvdisaster
In this case, you should first verify that the dvdisaster application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name dvdisaster in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ECC files.
Programs to open ECC file
Remember to download programs supporting ECC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of dvdisaster with ECC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ECC file to open in the dvdisaster application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ECC file with the dvdisaster application.
Step 3. Update dvdisaster to the latest version
If, despite the association of the dvdisaster program with the Dvdisaster Error Correction Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Carsten Gnörlich website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ECC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ECC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ECC file. However, remember that not every infected ECC 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 ECC files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ECC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting dvdisaster, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ECC 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the ECC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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.
