avcdrm.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like avcdrm.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like AVCFree.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Any Video Converter) could share the same avcdrm.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when avcdrm.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Any Video Converter is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common avcdrm.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - avcdrm.dll.
- avcdrm.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Anvsoft\Any Video Converter\avcdrm.dll.
- Cannot register avcdrm.dll.
- Cannot start Any Video Converter. A required component is missing: avcdrm.dll. Please install Any Video Converter again.
- Failed to load avcdrm.dll.
- The application has failed to start because avcdrm.dll was not found.
- The file avcdrm.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because avcdrm.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your avcdrm.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Any Video Converter), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, avcdrm.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Any Video Converter, system crash while loading avcdrm.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
