Extract text from Blu-ray clip information files (CLPI)
To convert CLPI Clip info files to another format, you need CyberLink PowerDVD or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Blu-ray Metadata File" file type, you need software like CyberLink PowerDVD or a similar tool.
A .CLPI file is a Blu-ray Clip Information file. It stores essential playback metadata for a corresponding M2TS video stream on a Blu-ray disc. This includes sequence parameters, stream attributes, frame rates, and entry point maps used for fast-forwarding or seeking.
These files are automatically managed by advanced Blu-ray player software like CyberLink PowerDVD and VLC media player. You can learn more about the underlying disc structure on the Blu-ray Wikipedia page.
Users often try to convert .CLPI files because they mistakenly believe these files contain the actual movie. A major disadvantage of this format is that it is strictly a metadata index; it is completely useless without the bulky M2TS video file it describes. Furthermore, the binary structure is proprietary, meaning standard text editors cannot natively read the timecodes or stream properties.
You cannot convert a .CLPI file directly into a playable video format like MP4 or MKV. Instead, the most logical conversion targets are TXT or XML. Parsing the binary into text allows video editors and developers to read the stream's diagnostic metadata in a human-readable format.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary format designed specifically for Blu-ray hardware and authoring software. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Standard online converters fail to process it. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CLPI file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ZIP, MPL, VRO and MVC files.
If you want to convert CLPI file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use CyberLink PowerDVD or similar software from the "Blu-ray Stream Metadata Storage" 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 CLPI, try CyberLink PowerDVD or another comparable tool in the "Blu-ray Stream Metadata Storage" 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 CLPI converter.
