Robert G. Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 When I finish downloading a sequence, I click to open it and it says Windows needs to know what program was used to create the file, so I click LOR Sequence Editor and before it opens it says "Unknown File Extension" and it doesn't open. Is there any way to fix this because I recently downloaded Believe In Holiday Magic which is extremely hard to find and I can't open it.--Thanks!

cmoore60 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 What is the file extension that you have on the file you are trying to open?Details are needed in order to get some assistance.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Well when they downloaded they were in .ZIP files. I also just downloaded sequences from a different site and they were in .ZIP too but they opened just find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 You have to unzip the compressed file and get the files out that are inside the zip.ZIP is NOT an extension that lor uses.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 I did some extracting and now the sequence files are showing the light bulb icon as they weren't before. But even when I have all the files out and unzipped, it still tells me it's unknown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Lambert Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 You will need to provide more info.What version of LOR are you using?What type of file are you trying to open ? i.e. las,lasbak,lmsIf you are unsure of the type just right click the file and select properties.

Robert G. Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 The file says it's VIX...Whatever that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Robert.A .vix file is not a file that is known to LOR.A LOR sequence file will have a .las file extension for an animation sequence or .lms file extension for a musical sequence.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Lambert Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Sorry never heard of it. I googled it and all I found was that you probably have "Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Well it's a musical sequence so I'd assume it's .lms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see anything else including a .VIX file or "believe in holiday magic"I am still a bit unclear, is believe in holiday magic the one that is .VIX? it does not seem to have come from this zip file. Also the .LMS files in this zip file open in sequence editor fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzaas Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 A .vix extension is a sequence file created by Vixen sequencing software and is not compatible with LOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 according to http://filext.com/file-extension/vixit has nonething to do with a light equipment but I was thinking vix could it be tied to vixen software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjnitto Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I believe Tony from Palombo Lights shared a vixen sequence for "Believe In" on the DIYChristmas website. It is a zipped file and the sequence file is .vix Maybe this is where it originally came from.There is a 192 channel LOR file from Dean Taunton's website if that helps.Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Somebody found the problem for me. All the files were infact .VIX (for vixen) and they were originally posted under a LOR title. Thanks to everyone that helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
