What is a VFO file?
VFO filename extension is very similar to the popular VOB extension, however, it is seldom used. VFO files can be found on DVD discs as they are used to store video data.
Upon changing VFO file’s extension to VOB, it can be opened using a multimedia players, for example, VLC Media Player. VFO format is less used today as high-resolution video formats are gaining popularity at the expense of SD resolution formats such as VFO. VFO files can also be opened with a media player by changing filename extension to MPG or MPEG.

How to open VFO files
If you cannot open the VFO 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 VFO 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 VFO file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the VFO format files
The inability to open and operate the VFO 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 VOB 5 Video file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a VFO file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the VFO file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the VFO from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the VFO format
- The VFO 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 VFO file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a VFO file are out of date.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 VFO file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the VFO file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the VFO 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.VFO) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected VFO 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 VFO 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. VFO) 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.
