How to open VP5 file?

The main problem with CrystalPlayer Video Format is that the VP5 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VP5 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 VP5 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 CrystalPlayer

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 VP5 files.

Programs to open VP5 file

Remember to download programs supporting VP5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of CrystalPlayer with VP5 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VP5 file to open in the CrystalPlayer application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CrystalPlayer application as the default for handling the VP5 file.

Step 3. Update CrystalPlayer to the latest version

If, despite the association of the CrystalPlayer program with the CrystalPlayer Video 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 Crystal Reality LLC. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VP5 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to VP5 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VP5 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected VP5 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of VP5 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VP5 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VP5 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move VP5 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the VP5 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VP5 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
