The CLPI file (also known as Blu-ray Clip Information File) is used by Blu-ray disc authoring software to store information regarding video and audio on a Blu-ray disc. This file also indicates the video codec used for video streams, along with other parameters such as chapter markers or subtitles. These files are usually accompanied by a movie object file (MOB), which describes the playback settings of the video.
Technical Details
The CLPI file consists of an XML-structured text which can contain up to 512 kilobytes of data. It is stored on a Blu-Ray disc in the partially encrypted form, where only the segment containing clip information is encrypted. It supports subtitles and indexes that help to provide access to specific portions of the video, and houses metadata for each timeline clip or shots, which are then used when the user searches for clips. The file also contains a unique timestamp that is tied to a segment on the disc, allowing the user to find and search clips quickly and accurately. The CLPI file is used by authoring programs such as Adobe Encore CS6, Sony DVD Architect Pro 6 or Nero Video 11.
Similar Extensions
Other related file extensions that can be used with Blu-Ray discs include .MOV, BDAV, .MPLS, .IFO, and .BDMV.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CLPI) 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 .CLPI 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 .CLPI 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 .CLPI 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 .CLPI extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CLPI file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CLPI 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 .CLPI file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CLPI file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CLPI file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
