Extract text from Disc copier projects (DCPF)
To convert DCPF projects to another format, you need Sonic RecordNow! or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Disc Burning Project File" file type, you need software like Sonic RecordNow! or a similar tool.
A .DCPF file is a proprietary project file used by legacy Sonic Solutions disc burning software, such as Sonic RecordNow! and early Roxio Creator versions. It stores configuration data, layout preferences, disc metadata, and local file paths for creating physical copies of CDs or DVDs.
The major disadvantage of the .DCPF format is that it acts as a blueprint, not a media container. It does not contain actual video, audio, or document data. If you move, rename, or delete the original source files on your hard drive, the project immediately breaks. Furthermore, it is a closed, proprietary format tied to obsolete software. Modern operating systems and web browsers cannot natively open it, and it requires old, unsupported software to function properly.
Because this is a proprietary settings file rather than an actual disc image (like an ISO), standard online converters fail to process it. You cannot directly convert a .DCPF to an MP4 or MP3 because the media simply is not inside the file. This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert, and often only the original software can properly read or export the data. Our platform can inspect the .DCPF file, show plain text, and reveal internal file paths. This helps you identify what media the project was trying to burn and locate the original files on your computer. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DCPF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 DCPF converter.
