The .CCF file extension stands for CryptLoad Container File, a file format created by CryptLoad, a program used mainly by users for downloading media from various websites. A.CCF file is typically used for downloading large files, such as audio or video, and when split into multiple components, it is often called a ‘container’ file. It is important to distinguish between the.CCF container and the content it contains.
Unlike some other files, with.CCF files, the container includes metadata about the content and more reliably joins together the smaller parts after they are downloaded. CryptLoad can be used with multiple streaming sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and other services where media can be streamed so that it can be downloaded in chunks. By combining the contents of multiple.CCF files, a completed piece of content can be accessed.
Similar File Extensions
In addition to the.CCF file extension other container formats exist, for example .RSDF, .DLC, and .DC. All of these share similar properties with the.CCF format; they hold data which needs to be joined together track information so that the content stored inside can be used into a single unit.
Applications That Use CCF Files
The main application that uses .CCF files is CryptLoad, available for Windows, OS X and Linux distributions. This software is generally used when downloading files from streaming sites that break downloads into chunks. This prevents media from being transferred in one single file and makes downloading them in small segments easier.
Creating Your Own CCF Files
CryptLoad also offers the ability to create.CCF files that can be shared with others. This feature can be used for online storage as well as sharing large pieces of media over the Internet without needing to upload them willingly. Furthermore, creating.CCF files provide smaller download sizes compared to other archives such as ZIP files—making them ideal for sharing large amounts of data over restricted connections like mobile broadband.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CCF) 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 .CCF 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 .CCF 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 .CCF 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 .CCF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CCF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CCF 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 .CCF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CCF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CCF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
