How to open IVS file?
An often recurring problem with Internet Streaming Video is that IVS is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file IVS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IVS 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 QuickTime Player
The first step is to check if the computer has the QuickTime Player program installed. To do this, enter the name QuickTime Player into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IVS files.
Programs to open IVS file
Remember to download programs supporting IVS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickTime Player with IVS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IVS file to open in the QuickTime Player application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IVS file with the QuickTime Player program.
Step 3. Update QuickTime Player to the latest version
If, however, after binding QuickTime Player with Internet Streaming Video 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 Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IVS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to IVS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IVS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IVS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IVS file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 IVS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file IVS 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the IVS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the IVS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
