Extract text from DZT files
To convert your DZT file to another format, you need RADAN or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Geophysical Survey Data" file type, you need software like RADAN or a similar tool.
The .DZT extension primarily refers to a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Data file generated by Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. (GSSI) equipment. These binary files store raw signal reflection data (radargrams) collected during subsurface surveys to map utilities, concrete structures, or geological features.
A major friction point for professionals is that .DZT files are proprietary binary blobs. They are unreadable without the expensive GSSI RADAN software suite. You cannot simply open them in Excel or a standard text editor. Furthermore, a valid .DZT often relies on companion files like .DZG (GPS coordinates) or .DZX (processing history) to be interpreted correctly; losing these renders the data spatially useless.
For analysis in MATLAB, Python, or CAD software, users must convert .DZT files to open formats. Common targets include CSV (for statistical analysis), DXF (for AutoCAD integration), or PNG/JPG (for visual reporting).
A secondary, less common use of the extension is for DirectorZone Title files used by CyberLink PowerDirector. These are XML-based templates for video overlays and are generally not meant to be converted, but rather imported directly into the video editor.

If you want to convert DZT file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use RADAN or similar software from the "Ground Penetrating Radar 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 DZT, try RADAN or another comparable tool in the "Ground Penetrating Radar 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 DZT converter.
