What program reads .dxr file extension?

[Kira]

Hello, I've searched for the name of a file type.

It reads "ecd.dxr" and my computer says it can't read it. It suggests I go to an "app store".

I feel I've been down this road before when someone said a file was "winror" , or some such.

There was no way to take a next step. Nothing ever says, "buy this to read WHATEVER".

Where does one go to get a reading program to read a disc? Kira

A .dxr file appears to be for Macromedia Director (now owned by Adobe). http://file.org/extension/dxr

WinRAR is also a thing. It's archival software — like WinZip or StuffIt — typically used for archiving scans of comic books and the like.

Is your flash player up to date? If so, try dragging the file onto your web browser - maybe it'll open it.

The Shockwave extension which should be loaded into your web browser will open it (an Adobe browser plugin).

It's a non-editable movie file.

These extensions are created precisely to get people to buy commercial software. A program that could open "Whatever" would cost thousands of dollars just to cover the licensing fees, and even then it wouldn't open "whatever" because some companies won't reveal the information needed to correctly read their proprietary file format (Microsoft, for example, won't release the technical details for it's NTFS file system. There are hacks to work with NTFS on non-Microsoft systems, but they are due to reverse-engineering and are not 100% compatible. And that's just over reading and writing to a hard drive, not working with file types). The short answer is they want to ransom users to make money. So your Whatever File Opener app will never exist.
