Extract text from Zaurus and eFootball files (CED)
To convert CED data files to another format, you need Sharp Zaurus or other E-Book software.
To convert other file formats to the "Legacy E-book & Game File" file type, you need software like Sharp Zaurus or a similar tool.
The .CED file extension primarily represents a legacy Sharp Zaurus e-book file (also known as a JSED data file). In 8% of cases, it acts as a football competition data file used by the video game eFootball PES 2021. Rarely, it serves as a metadata file generated by JVC digital camcorders.
These formats present severe compatibility challenges. The Sharp Zaurus ecosystem is completely obsolete, meaning these e-books are locked to dead 1990s PDA hardware and require an expensive $50/month legacy subscription or complex emulation to read natively. The JVC variants are essentially useless on their own; they store memory card formatting data, not video, making them completely unplayable in media players. Meanwhile, the eFootball PES data files are closed, proprietary binaries securely locked by the game engine.
To preserve old e-books, users must convert .CED to EPUB or PDF, though original typography and pagination will be lost. Modders looking to edit eFootball stats typically need to convert the game data to CSV or JSON.
Because these formats are obscure and undocumented, standard online converters fail to process them. Often, only the original hardware or specialized fan-made modding tools can properly read or export the data. Even if standard conversion fails, our platform can inspect the raw binary file to extract plain text or detect supported underlying formats, allowing you to salvage your data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CED file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted JSN, CED 2, MPL, MTS, CPI, BDM, CEB, DAT, ZIP, MP4, DWG, BUNDLE and INDD files.
If you want to convert CED file to MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use Sharp Zaurus or similar software from the "E-book or Game Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to CED, try Sharp Zaurus or another comparable tool in the "E-book or Game Data" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CED converter.
