How to open PLF file?
The main problem with InterVideo WinDVD Playlist Format is that the PLF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PLF 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 PLF 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 Corel WinDVD
The first step is to check if the computer has the Corel WinDVD program installed. To do this, enter the name Corel WinDVD into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support PLF files.
Programs to open PLF file
Remember to download programs supporting PLF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel WinDVD with PLF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PLF file to open in the Corel WinDVD 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PLF file with the Corel WinDVD program.
Step 3. Update Corel WinDVD to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Corel WinDVD program, it is possible that InterVideo WinDVD Playlist Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PLF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The PLF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PLF file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PLF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PLF 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 PLF 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PLF files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PLF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PLF to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PLF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PLF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
