About FTA files
FTA files are a less common file type, primarily associated with the Free-to-Air television broadcast systems. These files often store encrypted data which can pose challenges during conversion due to their unique structure and encryption protocols.
Converting FTA files can be complex, as these files are not widely supported by many software applications. One potential way to convert FTA files is by using specialized software like VLC Media Player, which can sometimes play and convert these files to more accessible formats, such as .mp4, .avi, or .mkv. Another option is to use software like FFmpeg, a powerful command-line tool capable of handling various multimedia formats.
Before converting, ensure that the conversion software supports FTA files, as many programs do not. Additionally, the encryption used in FTA files might require decryption software beforehand, adding another layer of complexity. These challenges, coupled with the potential quality loss during conversion, are significant drawbacks of using FTA files.

The FTA Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best FTA converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
