Opening .dcr files

Hello, my friend had his friend create a web site for his business back in 2004. Evidently she made it with Director. She has since moved away and he now would like to get the images down and alter the site a bit. He doesn't own Director. Is there another program that can open this file or any ideas for him? Thanks for your time - Bonnie

That is probably a file his friend had originally when she made the web site?
It's a file the original author would have created. Without it there's not much you can do - you might be able to get all the assets back in an unprotected form but all the code is gone forever.

  • Cant open .dcr file

    Director 12, trial.
    Mac OS 10.8.2
    Old .dcr (guessing from between 2000 and 2005)
    Its greyed out in the open file-window.
    Is it not possible to open files with the trial version? Something else wrong maybe?
    Edit: Renamed it .dir. Not greyed out anymore, but when trying to open it: Cant open file. Its protected. Is it possible to unprotect the file?

    No version of Director can File/Open a DCR. If you want to look at a DCR, either drag it onto a browser window, or inside Director you can type this in the Message Window:
    w = new window("")
    open w
    Then point to the DCR you want to look at.

  • How to open DCR raw files in CC

    I cannot open DCR files which I used for years with the Kodak 14nx, since I built a new computer. It worked fine with my last computer and CS5. With the new computer I tried it on CS5 and CC and they won't open because it's " not the right kind of file".  It worked in the past after @2004 when Adobe figured out how to change it to DNG which was on the update 6.4.1. Now when trying to reload Camera Raw Update 6.4.1 for Windows, I get an error message U44M287

    Those Kodak 14nx files should be still supported in photoshop cc:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.html
    What version of windows are you using?
    So you were able to open the files in photoshop cs5 on your new computer before the install of photoshop cc?
    In both photoshop cc and cs5 go to Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw and see what version the camera raw plugin is?

  • Opening protected .dcr files

    I've been supplied with source files from a new client that need alteration. However, when attempting to open the .dcr files, the following message appears:
    "File is protected adn cannot be opened"
    From what I can gather, the files in question (Director 8.5) were saved in such a way that there is no way to open them. I've tried dirOpener, but it fails to even see the files.
    Are there any options for opening or importing them into Director 11.5 short of re-creating them? The projector files are available.
    thanks,
    david

    That is not a source file. A file with the extension .dir is a source file. The .dcr extension means it's been published to shockwave so it can be run in a browser. I'd go back to the client and either get the source files, cancel the job, or requote with the new info as you'll have to recreate things from scratch.

  • Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect

    I'm trying to iterate through a folder of images, open each one of them, duplicate them into another photoshop file and close the individual image. This code works great on a PC (Photoshop CS3), but when I run it on our macs (Photoshop CS3) I will receive the following error on random images. "Error: Cannot open the file because the open options are incorrect" Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I've read about possibly setting the OpenDocumentType but have not seen an example anywhere. This error will sometimes occur after loading in one image or sometimes after 20 images. Sometimes I run it on the same directory multiple times all with various points of error. Sometimes every images is loaded. Any help would be much appreciated. Sample code is below.
    i //CODE BELOW
    i //allows the user to select an folder full of images
    b var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder that contains the files you want added as layers.");
    b var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
    b var tempRef = app.open(tempName);
    b for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++)
    b {
    b var tempName = fileList[i];
    b var tempStringName = fileList[i].toString();
    i //used to check if the file in the directory does in fact contain the .png extension
    b var reducedFileName = tempStringName.substring(tempStringName.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
    b if(reducedFileName.substring((reducedFileName.length - 4),(reducedFileName.length)) != ".png" || reducedFileName.substring((reducedFileName.length - 4),(reducedFileName.length)) != ".PNG")
    b {
    i //setting reference to opened docuement PNG file
    i //This seems to be the section throwing the error. Surrounding with Try Catch revealse the Error noted above
    b var tempRef = app.open(tempName);
    i //setting a tempName variable to the PNG file name
    b var tempName = app.activeDocument.name;
    i //setting reference to the active layer in the file
    b var graphicLayer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;
    i //setting the PNG layer name to the PNG file
    b tempRef.layers[0].name = tempName;
    i //duplicating the image onto the opened Photoshop file
    b tempRef.layers[0].duplicate(backRef);
    i //closing the original PNG file without saving
    b tempRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    b }
    b }

    It looks as if the folder contains non Photoshop files, one way around the problem would be to change
    var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
    To specify the file types you want to process IE:
    var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|tif|psd|crw|cr2|nef|dcr|dc2|raw)$/i);

  • Dir 11 mis-matched to old dcr file

    SOS. I created a web site for a client 2 years ago, with quizzes in Shockwave format. Used Dir MX. All worked. Now they want upgrades to quizzes, so I revised the Dir file with Dir 11, saved as dcr file, and now client gets the error message: "The page you are trying to open contains a movie that is referenced to an incorrect version of the Shockwave player." Dir 11 on Mac does not allow you to specific the Shockwave version. The HTML code is

    I assume its the cab#version line at fault. How do I fix it to say "Shockwave version 11.5"? I tried "version=11,5,0,0", but that didn't work. I'm authoring on Mac, playing back on Windows.
    Any help sincerely appreciated.
    regards, David

    Try:
    classid="clsid:233C1507-6A77-46A4-9443-F871F945D258"
    codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=11,0,0,0"
    I think you'll also need to specify the PlayerVersion (a new tag added to distinguish D11+ content from D10 and earlier - so that the backward compatibility player can load if required or able)
    <param name=PlayerVersion value=11>
    PlayerVersion=11

  • I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop.  I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG.  Is there a way to use

    I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3.  When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files.  I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file.  I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud.  I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible.  Can anyone advise me what to do?

    The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Some options:
    Upgrade to CS6
    Join the Cloud
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

  • How to read,dispaly and open pdf files

    Hi, I am very new to Java butI have VB6.0 background. My current requirement is to read pdf file names from a directory, then
    show them on a form in a list (with their path in background pointing to the actual pdf files) and then once a user clicks any
    file name, open that file on the form.
    For example:
    My pdf files are in a directory as following:
    C:\myreports\user1\
    report1.pdf
    report2.pdf
    report3.pdf
    C:\myreports\user2\
    report1.pdf
    report5.pdf
    The output on the form should look like this if user1 has logged in the system. Side note: I am able to get userid of the logged in person in a variable.
    My Reports:
    . Report 1
    . Report 2
    . Report 3
    When a user clicks Report 1, it opens on the same form in pdf format.
    Thanks
    S.yhong

    For the first part (Listing thepdf files in the directory) you can use the java.lang.File class.
    File f = new File("path to your directory");
    File files[] = f.listFiles();
    then process the files array to find the files with extenction pdf
    You can also use a file filter object and make the listFiles method return only the pdf files.
    Please read the documentation about the File class for more info about it.
    */ For the displaying the pdf part is it good enough if you load the accrobat reader and with it. In that case you can do that using the Runtime.exec
    Also you can search for free java based pdf viewers I am sure there must be meny.
    And also the JTextPane might support pdf but I am not sure about it.
    EDIT:
    Just to say that this is my 1000th post :)

  • I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1.  An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6.  If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates.  If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

  • Open/edit file

    I need to open a file, and edit part of the file based on some static text in that file. For example, lets say the text file looks something like this:
    a
    b
    c
    1
    2
    1
    a
    b
    c
    I need a program that will open the file, and delete everything from the first 1 to the last 1, and do nothing if no 1's exist.
    Afterwards, save the existing file.
    Can someone please show me how to do this?
    Thanks.

  • Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

    Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
    Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
    Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
    Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
    Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
    Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
    and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
    application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
    sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files. 
    This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
    On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
    IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
    works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
    Have tried following:
    1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
    2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
    3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
    4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
    5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
    Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
    I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
    regards,
    Compter Sez No!

    Hi,
    According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
    This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
    I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
    To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
    KB943620:
    Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
    KB952167:
    Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
    KB943556:
    Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.
