Remember to download programs supporting FLVAT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VLC media player with FLVAT files
If, despite the installed application, the FLVAT file does not start in the VLC media player 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FLVAT file with the VLC media player application.
Step 3. Update VLC media player to the latest version
If, however, after binding VLC media player with Downloaded Flash Video 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 VideoLAN Project Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FLVAT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the FLVAT 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FLVAT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected FLVAT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FLVAT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FLVAT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FLVAT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FLVAT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FLVAT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FLVAT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FLVAT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
