The I01 file extension is a compressed data format used by DVD Shrink Part 2. Developed by Pinnacle Systems, DVD Shrink Part 2 is a DVD multi-recording software popularly used for DVD copying and backup. I01 files are typically stored on a storage device such as hard drives, USB drives, and optical discs.
Format Details
The I01 file stores encrypted data in a proprietary format. It compresses the data with an algorithm that supports both reliable backup and general compatibility with other systems. A key feature of this compression algorithm is its resilience to data corruption, which allows the file to be easily restored from any loss or corruption episode. The technology used has been developed to reduce or eliminate the need for frequent backups.Similar File Types
I01 files are similar to other file extensions such as DVD, VOB, IFO, and BUP. These files are also commonly found in DVD disks and are used by various media player programs like Windows Media Player, VLC Media Player, WinDVD, RealPlayer, and Intervideo WinCinema.Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .I01) 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 .I01 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 .I01 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 .I01 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 .I01 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .I01 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .I01 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 .I01 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .I01 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .I01 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
