Open DCF File

The files that carry the DCF extension can acquire various types of formats and applications, some of them below:

DRM Content

In this section, DCF files are a type of media file encoded with DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection.

More about DRM

DRM is everything related to the management of legal access to digital content.

DRM has several tools or technological protection measures, especially access control, which can restrict the use of proprietary hardware and works protected by copyright.

In this case, the DCF file is used by some mobile phones to save protected ringtones, images, videos and other media clips.

The DCF extension file is similar to a DM file, but the rights object, which allows the encrypted data to be played, is contained in a separate file.

Because DCF files are saved in a protected format that is itself locked, they can usually only be opened using an authorized DRM-compliant mobile phone.

Safetica Free

In this section, the DCF extension file takes the form of a file encrypted by Safetica Free, a program used to securely encrypt important data.

Safetica protects sensitive data in companies of various size and complexity.

The DCF can incorporate encryption algorithms such as Blowfish, Twofish, CAST5, CAST6, MARS, RC5, RC6, Rijndael (AES), and Serpent, and can also be password protected.

Disk Copy Fast

In this case, the DCF extension file is a disk image created with Disk Copy Fast, a disk copy program for DOS created by Chang Ping Lee in the 1990s.

DCF is used to duplicate floppy disks, and supports DMF, XDF, FDFORMAT, 800KB, and Mac formats.

DCF files are also compatible with Disk Copy Plus, the commercial version of Disk Copy Fast.

PriMus-DCF

In the latter case, DCF is a standard data exchange format used by PriMus-DCF, a program for creating and publishing price lists, quotes, and bills of quantities.

PriMus-DCF is the free version for Primus Online, and facilitates the task of metric calculations and price lists, which technicians and engineers use when preparing construction projects.

Here, the DCF file contains all the necessary data in a single compressed file.

The type of compression is unknown, so its opening manually by the user is not recommended.
