What is IVR file?
The IVR file has been categorized as Video Files. The author of this format is RealNetworks. Additionally, the Video Files category contains 546 of other files. Internet Video Recording appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. It is recommended to use RealPlayer to handle this file. This is a program created by RealNetworks, Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs.
How to open IVR file?
The main problem with Internet Video Recording is that the IVR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file IVR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IVR 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 RealPlayer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RealPlayer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name RealPlayer into the 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 IVR.
Programs to open IVR file
Remember to download programs supporting IVR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RealPlayer with IVR files
If, despite the installed application, the IVR file does not start in the RealPlayer application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the RealPlayer application as the default for handling the IVR file.
Step 3. Update RealPlayer to the latest version
If, however, after binding RealPlayer with Internet Video Recording there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the RealNetworks, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IVR 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IVR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IVR or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IVR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IVR files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IVR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact RealNetworks
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IVR 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. It is best to move IVR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IVR file again. However, some background programs may block the IVR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
