Any one of you knows which program opens and edits a BDL file.

Thanks.

The tool is here:

id-daemon is an user of zenhax so, if the tool doesn't work, I'm sure he will be able to provide more info or an updated link.

P.S.: would have been nice if you didn't provide a link that require an account to download the file, it's for your benefit, because people (included me) will just ignore your topic if it's not possible to download a file.

I will try, thank you!!

Latest tool version. Supports both Codemasters ADPCM & m-law in all files I had. Tested with Dirt 2, Dirt 3, F1 2014.

p.s.
As many modern games, F1 2017 is using BDL files with plain 16-bit PCM audio. So no tools needed to decode them.

Most audio extractors can not open and edit files. It is special.

[id-daemon]

I repeat. It's not special. It contains plain 16-bit PCM audio. I don't have time to explain how to open PCM audio, this is VERY SIMPLE THING.

This program - Audacity and the like, can not open this file format at all.
So if it was so easy, I would not ask you.

[id-daemon]

Yes it can. Google "open raw audio files"

[pl68]

This is an unnecessary dispute.
I just asked you which audio program is seamlessly opening a BDL file format!!

[id-daemon]

And I answered that almost ANY audio program can do that. I even gave you examples: audition and sound forge. Audacity can also open that! What the hell else do you need?

[pl68]

Here, see nothing opens:

[id-daemon]

Did you try reading the message in that screen? The part about "import raw" ?

[pl68]

Yes, you are right, now i opened the file.
Thanks
Regards.
