The B5I file extension is associated with BlindWrite, a software program designed for recording CD and DVD discs for archival purposes, copy protection, or distribution. This software uses B5I file type as a special form of image files with information about the content that is stored on the CD or DVD. The B5I files contain exact sector-by-sector copy of original optical discs, including audio tracks, disc structures and other featured details of CD and DVD media. By recording the contents of the optical disc in one single image, it allows to store and transport large amounts of data on other types of removable storage media.
Use for Backup and Distribution
The B5I files allow to perform exact digital copy backup of disk using Blowfish encryption to protect data from unauthorized simulation, copying or editing. This kind of copy protection also allows users to conveniently send or receive copies of their disks via various communication channels like e-mail, Instant Messenger or other file sharing methods. Also this type of image files can be used for preserving original data structure while compressing the image in order to minimize its size.
Similar File Extensions
The B5I file is one among many similar formats like .iso, .nrg, .bin, .cue, etc., which share a similar purpose – to record optical discs in form of a single computer-readable file.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .B5I) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .B5I extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .B5I file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .B5I extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .B5I extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .B5I file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .B5I file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .B5I file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .B5I file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .B5I file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
