What is a DC4 file?
Files with the .DC4 extension contain encrypted data in a binary format, which can also be compressed. The file is unique to the (De)Coder software created by Daniel Marschall. The data can be coded using various methods of encryption, including the option to require a password to access the data.
The program that makes use of DC4 files guarantees a high degree of security. It allows the use of the line of command interface, as well as the “Drag and drop” functionality for coding and decoding the file.

How to open DC4 files
If you cannot open the DC4 file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports DC4 among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the DC4 file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the DC4 format files
The inability to open and operate the DC4 file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the ViaThinkSoft (De)Coder Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a DC4 file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the DC4 file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the DC4 from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the DC4 format
- The DC4 file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the DC4 file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a DC4 file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the DC4 file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the DC4 file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the DC4 file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.
How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.DC4) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected DC4 file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the DC4 file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. DC4) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
