Hi tommorton4,
Good day! This is Jhakesong and I will be happy to assist you with this.
I am sorry to hear about the inconvenience. What is the app that you are using to play videos? Is it windows media player? Is it also possible to get a screenshot of what comes up after playing the video?
Let me know how it goes. Have a great day!
Open up the Zoom Player settings
Make sure you've clicked "Switch To Advanced Mode" see (1)
Select Playback -> Make sure "Auto-Save Associated Media definition file" is unchecked

Hi tommorton4,
Thank you for the reply. Just to check if the same behaviour happens using a different video player, can you use VLC media player and play the same videos? Here's the download link of VLC.
Are you also using the freeware version of zoom player? or the paid one?
Let me know how it goes.
zoom player 16.5. sorry screen shot is from a **** it was just convenient. any and every video i open this .df file comes up and when 10 or so videos get watched i get a file for each one. it does not make a duplicate once a video has been played a second time. if i delete the .df file and then watch the video it comes back.
