cdf files

Post by fkimmerle »

Videostudio Pro X3 creates files with the extension cdf that cannot be opened.
What is their role and at what stage of a particular project can they be deleted?

These sound like temporary files. I would wait until whatever project you are working on is completed before deleting them.

Previous versions used to create a similar little data file each time it produced an mpeg-2 file, and we usually followed the suggestion made by Steve with them. They were, IIRC, *.udf files. I think the new .cdf ones are the same files, just with a c for Corel, rather than a u for Ulead... :?: :roll: The df part stands for data file...
