DVD_DEC.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like DVD_DEC.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like AppInstaller.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Wondershare UniConverter) could share the same DVD_DEC.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 DVD_DEC.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Wondershare UniConverter is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common DVD_DEC.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - DVD_DEC.dll.
- DVD_DEC.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Wondershare\Video Converter Ultimate\Transfer\MultimediaLibs\DVD_DEC.dll.
- Cannot register DVD_DEC.dll.
- Cannot start Wondershare UniConverter. A required component is missing: DVD_DEC.dll. Please install Wondershare UniConverter again.
- Failed to load DVD_DEC.dll.
- The application has failed to start because DVD_DEC.dll was not found.
- The file DVD_DEC.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because DVD_DEC.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your DVD_DEC.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Wondershare UniConverter), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, DVD_DEC.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Wondershare UniConverter, system crash while loading DVD_DEC.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.
