How to open VDO file?
The main problem with VDOLive Media Format is that the VDO file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open VDO, 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 VDO 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 LiteVDO
The first step is to check if the computer has the LiteVDO program installed. This can be achieved by typing LiteVDO into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VDO files.
Programs to open VDO file
Remember to download programs supporting VDO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LiteVDO with VDO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VDO file to open in the LiteVDO application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 VDO file with the LiteVDO application.
Step 3. Update LiteVDO to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the LiteVDO program, it is possible that VDOLive Media Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VDO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The VDO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VDO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VDO file. However, remember that not every infected VDO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VDO files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair VDO file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VDO files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move VDO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 VDO to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
