How to open QTV file?
The most common problem when using QuickTime Virtual Reality is that a specific QTV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open QTV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QTV 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
In this case, you should first verify that the QuickTime Player application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing QuickTime Player into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support QTV files.
Programs to open QTV file
Remember to download programs supporting QTV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickTime Player with QTV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QTV file still does not use the QuickTime Player program, it means no association. 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 select the desired program. 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 QTV file with the QuickTime Player program.
Step 3. Update QuickTime Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the QuickTime Player program, it is possible that QuickTime Virtual Reality requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QTV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the QTV file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our QTV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover QTV 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 QTV files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QTV file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted QTV 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 QTV to a different directory.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file QTV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QTV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
