What is a .PLAYLIST file?
The file extension .PLAYLIST is associated with CyberLink PowerDVD, which is a program designed to play DVDs on Windows computers. Specifically, a .PLAYLIST file is a playlist created by CyberLink PowerDVD. This type of file contains a list of video clips, but it does not contain the video clips themselves. Instead, it saves references or links to the locations of these video clips on your computer or media storage. This allows the PowerDVD software to play the videos in the sequence specified in the playlist.
The .PLAYLIST file is saved in a simple text format, which means you can open it with a text editor to see the contents, but to use the playlist as intended—to play videos—you need to open it with CyberLink PowerDVD. The file is typically named "PDVD_MediaDisc.PlayList." To open a .PLAYLIST file, you should use CyberLink PowerDVD 21, which is the version of the software that can recognize and utilize this file type. When you open the .PLAYLIST file in PowerDVD, the software will load the video clips listed in the file in the order they are arranged and play them accordingly. This is useful for watching a series of videos or movies without having to manually open each file.
