The RealPlayer application is recommended to open the file. It was released by RealNetworks, Inc.. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the RVX file.
How to open RVX file?
An often recurring problem with Real Protected Video Format is that RVX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open RVX, 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 RVX 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 RealPlayer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RealPlayer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name RealPlayer 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 RVX files.
Programs to open RVX file
Remember to download programs supporting RVX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RealPlayer with RVX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RVX file still does not use the RealPlayer program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RVX file with the RealPlayer application.
Step 3. Update RealPlayer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the RealPlayer program with the Real Protected Video Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the RealNetworks, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RVX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The RVX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RVX 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RVX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RVX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RVX 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RVX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RealNetworks, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RVX 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the RVX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 RVX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
