How to open VP7 file?

The most common problem when using TrueMotion VP7 Video Format is that a specific VP7 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that VP7 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VP7 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 VP7 Personal Edition

The first step is to check if the computer has the VP7 Personal Edition program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name VP7 Personal Edition in it. 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 VP7 files.

Step 2. Create association of VP7 Personal Edition with VP7 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VP7 file to open in the VP7 Personal Edition application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VP7 file with the VP7 Personal Edition program.

Step 3. Update VP7 Personal Edition to the latest version

If, however, after binding VP7 Personal Edition with TrueMotion VP7 Video Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VP7 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VP7 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VP7 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VP7 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 VP7 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VP7 files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VP7 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. If possible, you can try to move the VP7 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the VP7 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VP7 to close. However, some background programs may block the VP7 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
