How to open EVO file?
An often recurring problem with HD DVD Video Format is that EVO is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file EVO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EVO 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 PowerDVD
The first step is to check if the computer has the PowerDVD program installed. To do this, enter the name PowerDVD into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EVO with PowerDVD. Below is a list of programs that support the file EVO.
Programs to open EVO file
Remember to download programs supporting EVO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PowerDVD with EVO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EVO file to open in the PowerDVD 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PowerDVD application as the default for handling the EVO file.
Step 3. Update PowerDVD to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PowerDVD program with the HD DVD Video 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 CyberLink Corp. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EVO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The EVO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the EVO file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 EVO or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EVO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EVO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EVO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EVO 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. It is best to move EVO to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the EVO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EVO file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EVO file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
