xxx.r00
xxx.r01
Rar - Use Winrar or Rar to open www.rarlab.com(I think the link what it is) www.winrar.com
xxx.c00
xxx.c01
Winace or Ace, do a search for Winace.

someimage.nrg use Nero http://www.ahead.de/en/index.html#root

CCD,IMG, SUb - Use Clonecd http://elby.ch/english/products/clone_cd/index.html

Bin/Cue, You can use Fireburner, Cdrwin, and Cdmate

Iso - EZcd cremator. You can also use Winiso

something.zip use Winzip.

If there is anything I forgot please free feel to add.

I Yearn to Burn · 09-09-2002

It's a better idea to use Nero to burn .Iso files in my opinion.

Got it from you, so you deserve the credits

scaramanga · 03-11-2002

thanx for the link!
But for burning any kind of file image, you can use Daemon tool, the virtual device! mount the image file (iso, nrg, ccd...) in daemon tools and to choose Cd burning on the fly, cd to cd!

DryBaboon · 09-06-2003

Anyone know anything more about extension "*.idx"? It is filling up "my documents" in its hundreds, and the extension website seems rather vague...?

*Airhead* · 10-06-2003

Vobsub uses idx, it's the control file for the .sub. But I doubt you're unconsciously ripping DVD's to your My documents folder...
Do you use ICQ or Outlook Express?

No vob ripping, no ICQ, no Outlook Express. Perhaps related to Trillian though? - I use Trillian to access my ICQ, will try uninstalling and see what happens.

**Hemispasm** · 11-06-2003

Been using Outlook and Trillian etc but never had more than a few idx files on my hdd.

Been doing some searching and all i ve come up with is that idx files can be used by the following apps:

IDX Relational database index (Microsoft Fox Pro)
IDX Relational database index (Symantec Q&A)
IDX Microsoft Outlook Express file
IDX Index file (Microsoft Clip Gallery v. 1.x)
IDX Index (various)
IDX Corel QuickFinder Information

+plus some DVD ripping proggies and antivirus software.

Found this link also:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...file_types.asp

Are there any other file types in addition to the idx files that copuld help you recognize the program that needs them?

DryBaboon · 12-06-2003

Thanks for your suggestions Hemispasm - I don't use any of those programs. As long as it's not related to Nero or Alcohol, no cdfreak need freak I guess.
I just delete them in their hundreds like a sort of insect infestation in the kitchen, and they keep coming back.
Nothing is not working because of deleting them. But then you could say that about a lot of things in Windows.

*cloakdoa* · 13-06-2003

.idx files are usually part of Outlook express.

Do you use newsgroups??
Certain ng apps will use idx file also, such as Agent or Newsbin pro. Do a search for .idx and tell me where there are hiding at

cfitz · 14-06-2003

Nero's CD database (titles/artists/tracks) stores information in .idx files as well. In Nero, click "File"->"Preferences...", and then select the "Database" tab and see whether or not you have the "Use local Nero CD database" enabled (check mark in "Program database path:" or "User database path") and, if so, if the paths point to your My Documents folder where you are seeing all the files.

DryBaboon · 15-06-2003

That must be it.
I knew I could rely on cdfreaks to sort it out.

DryBaboon · 01-09-2003

.DMF
"Delusion/XTracker Digital Music File "
"DMF = Delusion : Music format (Delusion Digital Music File)" (http://www.icdatamaster.com/d.html)

What the hell kind of audio format is this? Am I being ignorant? enlighten me please!

(Downloaded free tunes from mp3.com, got this format)

The bundled software, B's CLiP, that came with my Sony CRX 225E
burns a perfect .ISO every time. The interface is a doddle to use and I've not made a coaster to date. More than can be said for Nero 6.

I think I'll leave DVD burning till I take out a second mortgage

Martyx · 12-06-2004

IMHO...

WinRAR for any compressed file (ZIP, RAR, ACE) - www.rarlabs.com

Nero to burn images - www.nero.com

DAEMON Tools for CD/DVD Emulation (CUE,ISO,BWT,CDI,B5T,CCD,MDS,NRG,PDI) - www.daemon-tools.cc

Eudoxus · 22-06-2004

CdMage: http://cdmage.orcon.net.nz/frames.html
Too bad its stuck in 2001 per development but this marvelous little tool will open dozens of fieltypes and let you extract out of them.

*bcn_246* · 06-08-2004

ultraiso will open most of the files listed

*ZigZagMan* · 11-08-2004

ok......winrar is "THE" tool for compressed files, ie...files packaged for transport over the net....be it .zip, .rar, dot whatever.......but for native files......you'll need other tools, and each application you install will vie for ownership of that filetype plus others.

You need to read up on the specific file type......and make an informed decision.....else your likely to dload ACDCEE, and find your paint proggy of choice is no longer default for .jpg....

sounds dumb....but happend to me......LOL

ninor · 07-12-2004

isobuster is very good to rip .iso, .bin/cue.... unless you use daemon tools or alcohol 120% to create the virtual cd-rom.

mpshake · 25-01-2005

Is there a program for a good all around use no matter what ext. is used? I am having some issues with VTS "VTune Performance Monitor Project File (Intel)" right now. But there are many, so there must be a program that does most of them, ... right? I am new to this whole thing, I don't know spit about getting these to burn. Step by step the process teachs a new layer that will (hopfully) get me educated enough to start enjoying the hours of work figureing it all out.

*Parato Optimal* · 26-01-2005

Nero will also do bin/que files.
