What is a ECC file?
Files with the .ECC extension contain data used during the reconstruction of various sectors of optical drives that have been damaged and cannot be read correctly. It is unique to Dvdisaster software.
ECC files allow for the reconstruction of data stored on CD, DVD and Blu-ray discs in case they are damaged, which is likely due to their limited lifespan. For such reconstruction to be possible, one must create such a file when the particular drive or its ISO image is available and free of any errors or damage.

How to open ECC files
If you cannot open the ECC file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports ECC among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the ECC file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the ECC format files
The inability to open and operate the ECC file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Dvdisaster Error-correction Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a ECC file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the ECC file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the ECC from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the ECC format
- The ECC file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the ECC file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a ECC file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the ECC file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the ECC file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the ECC file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.ECC) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected ECC file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the ECC file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. ECC) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
