The ECC file extension is a data file created for use with dvdisaster, an application used to back up data on CDs and DVDs before they may be damaged or lost. This type of file can store error correction information relating to the backed up data in order to prevent any data corruption. ECC files are similar in nature to other types of correction files such as .ecc, .edc and .c2d.
Functionality
The use of this type of file might be necessary when the integrity of a user's backed up data is in question. The main function of an ECC file is to provide error detection codes, as well as to offer an alternate method for verifying that the stored data has not been tampered with and is still readable. By storing this information within a separate file, it can be used to quickly and accurately identify any corruption or missing data within a user's backed up files.
Creating an ECC File
Users might be required to create an ECC file when they want to ensure that their backed up data will remain secure. When generating an ECC file, users are typically prompted to choose a path where the file should be stored. After setting this location, users are then able to name their newly created ECC files. Finally, the authorized backup process begins after the necessary ECC files have been completed.

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