Remember to download programs supporting H64 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of VLC media player with H64 files

If, despite the installed application, the H64 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. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the H64 file with the VLC media player application.

Step 3. Update VLC media player to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the VLC media player program, it is possible that Audioless H.264 Video Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the VideoLAN Project Team page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the H64 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to H64 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file H64 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected H64 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of H64 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular H64 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted H64 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the H64 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file H64 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the H64 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
