CHOPRO file format:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the CHOPRO files is as follows:

CHOPRO is rarely used as a file extension and includes various formats for various programs. However, the following two file formats are common:

55% of all CHOPRO files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "7B 74" at the beginning. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The files are 800 bytes to 2 KB in size, with a median of 1 KB. The file type is very old but is also used today. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as title and subtitle. These files are often associated with movie, your, heart, grace and love.
5% of all CHOPRO files save the data in UTF-16 (LE) file format. UTF-16 (LE) is an character encoding system for Unicode. UTF-16 files can be viewed in any modern text editor. These files start with the two bytes FF FE, the so called byte order mark (BOM). These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. A typical file size is 2 KB.

All other CHOPRO files (40%) have different formats. These files are often connected to medley, praise, blue or name. If you want to find out which format your CHOPRO file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .chopro file to view".
