How to open VRO file?

The most common problem when using DVD Video Recording Format is that a specific VRO is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open VRO, 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 VRO 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 MPlayerX

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MPlayerX is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MPlayerX in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support VRO files.

Programs to open VRO file

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

Step 2. Create association of MPlayerX with VRO files

If, despite the installed application, the VRO file does not start in the MPlayerX 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. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VRO file with the MPlayerX application.

Step 3. Update MPlayerX to the latest version

If, however, after binding MPlayerX with DVD Video Recording Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VRO 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 VRO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the VRO file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VRO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VRO 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 VRO files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VRO file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VRO files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the VRO file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VRO file again. However, some background programs may block the VRO file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
