Troubleshoot DTS Files

Issues Opening DTS Files

CyberLink PowerDVD Not Present

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open DTS Files" when trying to open your DTS. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because CyberLink PowerDVD isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your DTS because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: When another DTS application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Obsolete Version of CyberLink PowerDVD

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a DTS Encoded Audio File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of CyberLink PowerDVD from CyberLink is recommended. Most of the time your DTS Encoded Audio File file was created by a newer CyberLink PowerDVD than what you have installed.

Tip: Investigate your DTS file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of DTS file opening issues are due to not having the correct CyberLink PowerDVD version installed.
