How to open file with .DRC extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .DRC file? Do you want to convert a .DRC file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .DRC

Full Name Developer Category
OMA Open Mobile Alliance DRM Rights Object Format N/A Misc Files
.DRC

The DRC file extension is related to digital media files, also known as DRM Rights Object. It is created by iTunes, Apple’s own digital media management platform, and used to store data describing the rights associated with particular digital multimedia file. This data includes information about whether a file can be edited, printed or backed up, as well as the types of pay-per-view or subscription services the file may be available on. DRC files are similar to other DRM-related files such as AAX, ACSM, APX, and EPUB.

Technical Details and Uses

DRC files contain XML text data and are saved in Adobe's ASCII format. They allow software programs such as iTunes or iBook to ask an external DRM system for permission to open an associated multimedia file. This way, the software can determine if the user has the required permissions or payments to view the file. The usage license is stored in the DRC file so that users do not have to re-enter the license's information every time they use the digital media content.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DRC) 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 .DRC 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 .DRC 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 .DRC 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 .DRC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DRC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DRC 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 .DRC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DRC file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .DRC file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .DRC file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
