Some multimedia files that may be encoded with DCF specifications and stored in the DCF file format include digital music, images, videos and ringtones among others. The DM file format has some similar specifications to the standards implemented into DCF files, except code for viewing the content of a protected DCF file is stored in another file associated to the DCF file. This code is referred to as rights objects. Mac users can install the Sony Ericsson DRM Packager software to create these DCF files, or open and view the content of an existing DCF file with this software. Users of Microsoft Windows-based systems can also access these functionalities and implement support into their systems for these DCF files by installing the version of the Sony Ericsson DRM Packager program for Microsoft Windows.how to open a .dcf file?

Digital Rights Management is a technology that is used in securing the distribution, promotion and sales of a digital media. It protects digital content through limited usage, like for instance in 3G, where operators and content providers need a method that will allow then to sell content without freely distributing it between devices. DRM is defined by the standards of Open Mobile Alliance (OMA). OMA DRM enables controlled consumption of digital media objects by letting content providers express usage rights like the ability to preview DRM content, to prevention of illegally forwarding downloaded DRM content from to other users, and in enabling super distribution of DRM content. Usage rights are controlled with DRM, these are defined for all types of content. Different rights from different users may be applied on the same content. DRM controls usage rights like the number of times it can be used, the period it can be used and the length of time it can be used. This kind of control enables content providers to create more subscriptions and pay-per-use models and will also stimulate mobile content based services.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .dcf files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .dcf. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
