What is a BSC file?

BSC files mostly belong to FMOD Designer. BSC files are not one‐size‐fits-all. They hold diverse types of data depending on their origin.
  • Game Audio File: In many cases, a BSC file is a sound bank used by games like Company of Heroes 2. This version manages audio cues and effects through tools such as FMOD Designer.
  • Balanced Scorecard File: Some BSC files store business performance metrics. One variant uses an XML format (found with GenomeStudio and linked to Illumina), while another works with BSC Designer (BSC Designer) to present scorecard data.
  • C/C++ Browser Information: In development environments, especially within Microsoft Visual Studio, BSC files keep browser data for navigating symbols and code structure.
  • Binary Speech Corpus File: Other instances use the extension for compressed speech or dictionary data (using GZIP compression), as seen in projects associated with StarDict (CSTR).
  • FilExt.com tip: Each file type must be managed with its own application. To view or edit a BSC file, identify its context and open it with the matching software.

    How to open a BSC file

    You need a suitable software like FMOD Designer to open a BSC file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your BSC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a BSC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

    Programs that open and convert BSC files:

    1. FMOD Designer
      See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. BSC files are often referred to as FMOD Designer audios because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
    2. BinSCII
      BinSCII is a program for the Apple II series that encodes and decodes Apple ProDOS files to allow convenient and relatively error free transmission over E-mail networks. The identifying characters used for this association are - Hex: 46 69 4C 65 53 74 41 72 54 66 49 6C 45 73 54 61 52 74, ASCII: FiLeStArTfIlEsTaRt. This file format is classified as Archive.

    BSC file format details:

    A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. In the following you will find our evaluation of the BSC files:

    BSC is not a common file extension and includes different formats for different programs. The file formats most commonly found in BSC files are:

    All other BSC files (40%) have no consistent format, such as GZIP and Microsoft. The category is scorecard, balanced, catalog or common. If you want to find out which format your BSC file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .bsc file to analyze".

    How to solve problems with BSC files

    • Associate the BSC file extension with the correct application.
    • Update your software that should actually open specialized data containers. Because only the current version supports the latest BSC file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available FMOD Designer update.
    • To make sure that your BSC file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
