1.Detail information about DCF file extension: HP-95 Comm Program Settings File

File type HP-95 Comm Program Settings File Category Settings Files
Developer N/A File format N/A
Description DCF file is a HP-95 Comm Program Settings File. File extension dcf is most likely best known for its use for the DRM Content Format.

DRM  is closely related to the Rights Expression Language specification, which defines the syntax and semantics for the Rights Objects. The dcf media files are used by some mobile phones.

In addition to encrypting the Media Object the DRM Content Format supports metadata such as:

Original content type of the media objectUnique identifier for this DRM protected Media Object to associate it with rightsInformation about the encryption detailsInformation about the rights issuing service for this DRM protected media objectExtensions and other media type dependent metadataThe file format is extensible, so additional features may be added in the future while maintaining compatibility with the older versions. Compatibility with the version 1 Content Format is not maintained by this specification, therefore a different MIME type is used.

There are two profiles of the DRM Content Format. One is used for Discrete Media (such as still images) and one for Continuous Media (such as music or video). The profiles share some data structures. Both profiles are based on a widely accepted and deployed standard format, the ISO Base Media File format, but the Discrete Media profile is meant to be an all-purpose format, not aiming for full compatibility with ISO media files.

The Content Issuer can decide which profile to use for their content, but in general, the profile for Continuous Media should be used for Continuous Media content, in order to create a harmonious user experience. The Discrete Media profile should be used for other types of content. To a User, the difference is that a file conforming to the Discrete Media profile looks like a DRM protected file, whereas a file conforming to the Continuous Media profile looks and functions like a media file to the outside.

This dcf file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.

This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.
