The CCT (Director Protected Cast Resource) file extension is used with the Macromedia Director multimedia development software, now owned and distributed by Adobe. The Director application is a powerful tool for authoring rich media applications like interactive CD-ROMs, kiosks and other professional presentations. The CCT (Director Protected Cast Resource) file stores data that enables the project to be considered protected or secure, preventing unauthorized access to elements like fonts, text, scripts and graphics when the project is run by an end user.
Technical Details
Files with the CCT (Director Protected Cast Resource) extension are categorized as a data file type under the Macromedia Rich Media Format File category. They are typically stored in a binary format but can also be stored in encryped text format which is a binary form encoded using base 64 encoding. In this case they should be renamed with a.VCX file extension. A related file type is the CRF (Projector-Protected Cast Resource), the difference being that Projector utilizes external access to digital rights management (DRM) to protect certain data elements of the project.
Similar file types include files with .CST, .CCT, CXS, .LSR, and .DIR extensions.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CCT) 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 .CCT 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 .CCT 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 .CCT 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 .CCT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CCT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CCT 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 .CCT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CCT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CCT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
