What is an FDC file?

FDC files mostly belong to eFootball. FDC files are proprietary data containers that serve different functions, depending on the software that created them.
Gaming Use Cases:
  • They often hold cutscene and camera animation data used in video game engines. For example, Konami uses them for eFootball PES cutscenes. See Konami eFootball for more details.
  • Some versions work with game asset systems like UnityFS, which bundle assets for games. Refer to the Unity Manual for guidance.
  • Other Use Cases:
  • They are found in medical systems where they carry command or interaction data, as seen with Dragon Medical files from M*Modal. More information is available at Nuance.
  • They also appear in document and form processing—storing design or form data used by tools such as FlexiCapture Designer and FormDocs. Visit Abbyy or FormDocs for details.
  • FilExt.com tips: If you need to view an FDC file, you must use the specific application that created it. A quick look with a text editor might reveal clues about its origin. Always back up your file before attempting any changes or conversions.

    How to open an FDC file

    You need a suitable software like eFootball to open an FDC 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 FDC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a FDC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

    Programs that open and convert FDC files:

    1. eFootball
      See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. FDC files are often referred to as eFootball games because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.

    FDC file format:

    Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the FDC files is as follows:

    FDC is seldom used as a file extension and includes a lot of different file formats for different programs. The two most common formats are as follows:

    The remaining 80% of all FDC files are files with no common format, frequently e.g. RIFF and SFD. Tagged as view, draft, trophy, passage, jmscc or mode. If you want to find out which format your FDC file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .fdc file to analyze".
