File extension .DASH

File description

Working as a high quality video streaming format, DASH file extension is compatible with MPEG-DASH since it enables users to stream digital videos from traditional HTTP servers. Users can convert their network performance by modifying the quality to have smooth playback.

DASH file is basically a temporary document developed by application during the MPEG-DASH playback video streaming. The format offers quality specifications for digital streaming and also helps to transfer videos in MP4 format through their own DASH protocol.

Generally, the DASH file extensions save videos in different bitrates in order to make sure that the videos are always playable even if the internet connection is unstable. Though be informed, the DASH files do not have audio track and therefore, they are stored in other files.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .DASH file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .DASH extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .DASH file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .DASH file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .DASH file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .DASH file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .DASH file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .DASH file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .DASH file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .DASH file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
