How to open VMLF file?

The most common problem when using AVI Movie Format is that a specific VMLF is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open VMLF, 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 VMLF 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 VLC media player

In this case, you should first verify that the VLC media player application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name VLC media player into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VMLF files.

Step 2. Create association of VLC media player with VMLF files

If, despite the installed application, the VMLF file does not start in the VLC media player application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the VLC media player application as the default for handling the VMLF file.

Step 3. Update VLC media player to the latest version

If, despite the association of the VLC media player program with the AVI Movie Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the VideoLAN Project Team website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VMLF file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The VMLF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VMLF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 VMLF file. However, remember that not every infected VMLF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VMLF 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VMLF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VMLF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move VMLF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VMLF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
