How to open VCV file?
The most common problem when using ViewCave Video Format is that a specific VCV is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that VCV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VCV 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 VCV Player
In this case, you should first verify that the VCV Player application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name VCV Player in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file VCV.
Programs to open VCV file
Remember to download programs supporting VCV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VCV Player with VCV files
If, despite the installed application, the VCV file does not start in the VCV Player application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 VCV file with the VCV Player application.
Step 3. Update VCV Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the VCV Player program, it is possible that ViewCave Video Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VCV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the VCV file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VCV file. Sometimes virus-infected VCV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VCV files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VCV files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VCV 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. It is best to move VCV to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the VCV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VCV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VCV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
