How to open IVC file?
The main problem with IView MediaPro Catalogue Format is that the IVC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file IVC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IVC 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 Microsoft Expression Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Expression Studio program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Expression Studio in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IVC with Microsoft Expression Studio. Below is a list of programs that support the file IVC.
Programs to open IVC file
Remember to download programs supporting IVC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Expression Studio with IVC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IVC file to open in the Microsoft Expression Studio application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IVC file with the Microsoft Expression Studio application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Expression Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Expression Studio program, it is possible that IView MediaPro Catalogue Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IVC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The IVC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the IVC 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IVC or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected IVC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IVC 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IVC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IVC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 IVC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IVC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
