What is a CLPI file

CLPI files mostly belong to PowerDVD. CLPI files are used in Blu-ray disc structures as playlist containers that hold clip order information. They do not contain the video data but provide instructions on how a Blu-ray player should access and sequence the clips stored elsewhere.
Key details provided by FilExt.com:

Most of these files are linked with PowerDVD from CyberLink, as supported by the official webpage at CyberLink.

A smaller percentage relate to HDMV technology.

They function as clip information files which ensure the media plays in the proper order.

Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened.
