Extract text from DivX temporary info files (DINFO)
To convert DINFO info files to another format, you need DivX or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Temporary Encoding Metadata" file type, you need software like DivX or a similar tool.
A .dinfo file is a temporary data file generated by the DivX encoding suite. It stores metadata, frame analysis data, and temporary encoding instructions while the software compresses a video into the DIVX or AVI format.
Users typically encounter these files as digital clutter when a video encode fails, crashes, or is interrupted. The main disadvantage of the .dinfo format is that it is proprietary and strictly temporary. It is entirely useless without the accompanying source video. Because it contains only technical parameters and raw encoding states rather than actual media, it is not supported by standard media players like VLC or web browsers.
Converting a .dinfo file to video formats like MP4 or MKV is impossible because the file lacks video frames. However, advanced users may wish to convert the internal text data into standard formats like TXT, XML, or PDF to recover encoding settings or review log data.
This format is notoriously difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary file designed exclusively for internal use by DivX. Standard online converters fail because they expect standardized document or media structures. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DINFO 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 DINFO converter.
