How to open H260 file?
The most common problem when using Video Recording is that a specific H260 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open H260, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the H260 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 VLC media player
In this case, you should first verify that the VLC media player application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name VLC media player into the system search engine.

Programs to open H260 file
Remember to download programs supporting H260 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VLC media player with H260 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the H260 file still does not use the VLC media player program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the H260 file with the VLC media player program.
Step 3. Update VLC media player to the latest version
If, despite the association of the VLC media player program with the Video Recording 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 VideoLAN Project Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the H260 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to H260 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our H260 file. However, remember that not every infected H260 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the H260 file. 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 H260 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted H260 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 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 H260 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file H260 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
