Issues Opening DVM Files

Missing DVM development kit

Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens DVM files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Outdated DVM development kit

Sometimes your installed version of DVM development kit won't support your DVM Movie File Format file. Installing the latest version of DVM development kit from Open Source is recommended.
