CloneCD DVD Information File

In this section, the DVD files contain information that the CloneCD software uses when recording DVD data on a physical disc. Usually, this file is small, having only a few bytes in size, however it is required to burn data to a disc.

These files are stored in the software installation folder along with much larger data files, usually with extensions 000, 001, 002.

CloneCD is a software for burning CDs and DVDs, initially developed by SlySoft, which, for legal reasons, had to change its name to RedFox.

The software makes use of DVD files to copy copy-protected CDs, allowing you to make backup copies of protected DVDs and CDs.

To work with a DVD file, you must have CloneCD installed on your system.

The DVD files may be pre-installed with the operating system, or it may be necessary to install it from a disc that came with the hardware.

It is important to mention that in neither of the two previous cases, the DVD extension files are movies or videos.
