Programs to open WVE file

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

Step 2. Create association of DivX with WVE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WVE file to open in the DivX 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WVE file with the DivX application.

Step 3. Update DivX to the latest version

If, despite the association of the DivX program with the DivX Movie Conversion Component 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 DivX, LLC website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WVE file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WVE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WVE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WVE 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 WVE file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WVE files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact DivX, LLC
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WVE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WVE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 WVE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WVE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
