How to open VPD file?
An often recurring problem with PhotoDVD Project Format is that VPD is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open VPD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VPD 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 PhotoDVD
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PhotoDVD is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PhotoDVD in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VPD with PhotoDVD. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VPD files.
Programs to open VPD file
Remember to download programs supporting VPD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PhotoDVD with VPD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VPD file to open in the PhotoDVD 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VPD file with the PhotoDVD program.
Step 3. Update PhotoDVD to the latest version
If, however, after binding PhotoDVD with PhotoDVD Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the VSO-Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VPD 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 VPD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the VPD file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 VPD file. However, remember that not every infected VPD 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 VPD 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VPD files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting VSO-Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VPD 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the VPD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VPD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
