Programs to open OFL file

Step 2. Create association of OtsAV DJ with OFL files
If, despite the installed application, the OFL file does not start in the OtsAV DJ application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 OFL file with the OtsAV DJ application.
Step 3. Update OtsAV DJ to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the OtsAV DJ program, it is possible that Ots Format List requires a newer version of the program.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 Ots Labs, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OFL 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 OFL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the OFL file contents when downloading or copying. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OFL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected OFL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of OFL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair OFL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ots Labs help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OFL 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move OFL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the OFL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OFL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
