How to open L3 file?
The main problem with L3 DRM Protected Video Format is that the L3 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that L3 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the L3 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 Wizo Player
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Wizo Player is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Wizo 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 L3 files.
Programs to open L3 file
Remember to download programs supporting L3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Wizo Player with L3 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the L3 file still does not use the Wizo Player program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the L3 file with the Wizo Player application.
Step 3. Update Wizo Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Wizo Player program, it is possible that L3 DRM Protected Video Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Layer Three Media website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the L3 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the L3 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the L3 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected L3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the L3 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular L3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted L3 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the L3 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the L3 file again. However, some background programs may block the L3 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
