How to open VPG file?
An often recurring problem with VideoPad Video is that VPG is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VPG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VPG 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 VideoPad
In this case, you should first verify that the VideoPad application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing VideoPad into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VPG with VideoPad. Below you will find a list of applications that support VPG files.
Programs to open VPG file
Remember to download programs supporting VPG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VideoPad with VPG files
If, despite the installed application, the VPG file does not start in the VideoPad application, you must create a file association. 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the VideoPad application as the default for handling the VPG file.
Step 3. Update VideoPad to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the VideoPad program, it is possible that VideoPad Video requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the NCH Software Pty Ltd website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VPG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to VPG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VPG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected VPG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of VPG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VPG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting NCH Software Pty Ltd, 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 VPG 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move VPG to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VPG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VPG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
