Common Problems Opening H264 Files
Missing CyberLink PowerDVD
If you attempt to load your H264 file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open H264 Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to CyberLink PowerDVD missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your H264 because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens H264 files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Incorrect CyberLink PowerDVD Version
In other instances, your H.264 Encoded Video File file version may not be supported by your version of CyberLink PowerDVD. You will need to download a newer version of CyberLink PowerDVD if you don't have the right version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the H264 file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening H264 files are due to having the incorrect version of CyberLink PowerDVD installed on your computer.
