CED File Extension

What is CED file?

The CED format is strictly related with the JVC company, due to the fact, it was developed by it for purpose of some digital cameras the company has deployed. What is important, is that the function of CED files, is to store damaged video data in case of any problems with a memory card (its damaging or loss).

Additional information about CED files

CED files may contain (but not necessarily) a usable stream of video data – depending on the reason for error occurrence. CED files are created with internal software of the JVC cameras, and they store unprocessed video data.

CED files are proprietary for the JVC label, therefore, there are no programs of other companies able to support this format. However, there are applications which convert CED file into more popular formats.

Hint

CED files are often created when the memory card was not formatted properly (e.g.: if a card was formatted in a digital camera and then used in a JVC device). Remember – in order to avoid such errors, user should always format a memory card with the device which will be operating on it. This will provide higher compatibility of data storing.
