Programs to open IVA file
Remember to download programs supporting IVA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DVR System Plus with IVA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IVA file to open in the DVR System Plus application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IVA file with the DVR System Plus program.
Step 3. Update DVR System Plus to the latest version
If, however, after binding DVR System Plus with Surveillance Video Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IVA 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IVA file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IVA file. Sometimes virus-infected IVA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IVA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IVA files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IVA files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move IVA to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the IVA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
