.DCR File Extension

Uncompressed image saved in Kodak's RAW image format; used by Kodak digital cameras (typically SLRs) for capturing photos without any compression or color adjustments.

RAW photos can be edited more accurately than .JPEG photos after they have been saved to the computer.

Interactive media file saved in the Shockwave format for distribution on the Web; similar to a Flash (.SWF) file, but created with Adobe Director rather than Adobe Flash; often used for creating Web games and other highly interactive content.

Director was originally developed by Macromedia, which was acquired by Adobe at the end of 2005.

NOTE: Adobe Shockwaver Player runs as a Web browser plug-in.

Video file created by Digital Court Recorder (DCR), a program used for recording live video of courtroom proceedings; may include typed notes in addition to the recorded video; can be played back using BIS Digital's free DCR Player.

Video file created by High Criteria's Liberty video recording software products, such as Liberty Court Recorder, Liberty Police Interview Recorder, and Liberty Meeting Recorder; used for storing audio and video recorded in courtrooms, police interviews, and city council meetings.

DCR files can be played back using the free Liberty Court Player, which is available for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android platforms.

NOTE: The DCR format used by Liberty software differs from the DCR format used by BIS Digital Digital Court Recorder, even though the two products are often used for the same purpose.
