IFV file extension
The IFV file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the IFV files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the IFV file on each system platform.
What is IFV file?
The file with the extension IFV is the Video Files file type. Additionally, the Video Files category contains 546 of other files.

This was created by Pandora TV Co., Ltd..
How to open IFV file?
The most common problem when using Indeo Video Format is that a specific IFV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open IFV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IFV 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 KMPlayer
In this case, you should first verify that the KMPlayer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing KMPlayer into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file IFV.
Programs to open IFV file
Remember to download programs supporting IFV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KMPlayer with IFV files
If, despite the installed application, the IFV file does not start in the KMPlayer application, you must create a file association. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the KMPlayer application as the default for handling the IFV file.
Step 3. Update KMPlayer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the KMPlayer program, it is possible that Indeo Video Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Pandora TV Co., Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IFV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the IFV file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IFV or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IFV 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 IFV file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IFV file corruption. 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 IFV 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IFV to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IFV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IFV 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.
