How to open YOG file?

The main problem with Outerra Captured Video Format is that the YOG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file YOG 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 YOG 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 YOG converter

In this case, you should first verify that the YOG converter application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing YOG converter into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file YOG.

Programs to open YOG file

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

Step 2. Create association of YOG converter with YOG files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the YOG file still does not use the YOG converter program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 YOG file with the YOG converter program.

Step 3. Update YOG converter to the latest version

If, however, after binding YOG converter with Outerra Captured Video Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 YOG file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file YOG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover YOG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of YOG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular YOG file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file YOG 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the YOG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the YOG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
