CODEC (COmpressor DECompressor) is a software product developed by Telvox, an Italian company. Its main features seem to be compression and encryption. This article is mainly about its native compressed (or optionally uncompressed) archive format.

Identifiers

It does not seem to have a default file extension. IDArc says it uses .DQT, but we've found no other evidence of this.

Some third parties have abbreviated CODEC as "CDC".

Identification

Files seem to start with 0x76 0xff.

According to IDArc, this sequence could appear at offset 0 or 4, and is followed by a byte whose value is between 0x20 and 0x3f, inclusive.

Note that this format can easily be mistaken for Squeeze.
