Convert Error correction files (ECC) online for free
The converter easily converts your ECC Firmware files to various formats - free and online. No dvdisaster or or other Backup software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Parity Data File" file type, you need software like dvdisaster or a similar tool.
The .ecc file extension is most notably used for dvdisaster Error Correction Files or proprietary firmware updates for EchoStar satellite receivers. When generated by the open-source software dvdisaster, these files contain Reed-Solomon parity data. This data acts as an insurance policy for optical media (CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays), allowing users to recover a complete ISO image even if the physical disc suffers from data rot or deep scratches. Alternatively, the format is used as an encrypted configuration or firmware file manipulated by utilities like EccTool.
The primary disadvantage of an .ecc file is its absolute dependency on external assets and specific software. A dvdisaster parity file is entirely useless without the original damaged source disc. Furthermore, these files can be massive, often taking up 20% or more of the original disc's capacity. Firmware and configuration .ecc files are closed-source, encrypted binaries. They cannot be opened natively by standard operating systems, and attempting to open them in a standard text editor yields unreadable gibberish.
Converting or extracting data from .ecc files is highly dependent on their origin. For data recovery purposes, the target is usually reconstructing a working ISO or BIN disk image using the source media. For reverse engineering or inspecting encrypted configurations, users often need to extract the raw binary data to TXT or HEX format.

Users also converted PDF, EDI, DJVU, INK and RSA files.
If you want to convert ECC file to RSA, ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, LZMA, CAB, ACE or ARJ, you can use dvdisaster or similar software from the "Error Correction & Firmware Update" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert XXE, 7Z, Z, PAK, LHA, DEB, UUE, TAR, LZH, ZIP, PKG or RAR files to ECC, try dvdisaster or another comparable tool in the "Error Correction & Firmware Update" 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 ECC converter.
