Programs to open HDV file
Remember to download programs supporting HDV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sony Vegas Pro with HDV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HDV file still does not use the Sony Vegas Pro program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 HDV file with the Sony Vegas Pro application.
Step 3. Update Sony Vegas Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sony Vegas Pro program, it is possible that High Definition Video Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HDV file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to HDV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HDV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HDV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HDV 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HDV files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HDV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the HDV file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the HDV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the HDV file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
