DXR File Extension

What is the .DXR file type?

Associated with the Adobe Director Protected Movie (DXR) file type and format, the .dxr filename extension denotes playable-only multimedia files published via Adobe Director, using a private binary format (DXR). Adobe (formerly, Macromedia) Director is a commercial rich-media authoring tool, enabling web and desktop developers to create and deliver interactive multimedia content. Along with DCR (Adobe Shockwave movie), DXR is a content-distribution format targeted at end-users.

A .dxr file is a locked (read-only) version of a DIR movie that can be played but cannot be edited. Unlike DCR, .dxr movie files are uncompressed and generally larger in size. Distributed as both standalone and projector-bundled .dxr files, DXR protected Director movies can be played through a web browser with the Adobe Shockwave Player plugin installed, or alternatively via the supplied projector executable (platform-dependent, MS Windows/Mac OS only), if present.



When distributing Adobe Director content, it is advisable to always have local copies in the DIR format, to retain the editing capability.
