Solve : Cannot open a .tl file?

1.	Solve : Cannot open a .tl file?
Answer» My wife created a cd disc of family pictures. They all have a .tl FILE extension. I have spent the better part of an hour trying to research how to open them without success. No idea what program she used to create them. I can display the various files as content of the cd but cannot open them. Anyone have a suggestion of what will open them? truenorth P.S. My wife claims that all these files were either jpeg or bitmap and a software burning program called Roxio Easy CD Creator was used to burn them to disc.Best I can find is that it's an "Open Track List" file, which is only used for recording sound tra is it at all possible they accidentally entered a nonstandard file extension when saving? OpenTL is a format supported by Roxio, though.[The OpenTL (Open Track List) format is mainly used for data exchange with Tascam hard disk recorders, such as the MX2424. It only supports the exchange of audio data (audio media and the use of this audio media in a project).

Yes the points that you both mentioned were presented in my searches. Certainly would NOT have been a user selected choice to use that type of save function (Roxio) that would have resulted in the .tl extension.

This is far from the 1st time she has used the ROXIO (infact she says it is the ONLY burning program she uses) to perform this task.

To see if i could add more to this issue i just went up to her computer and selected 670 mb of photos (all jpegs or bitmaps) from files on her HDD and had her burn them using Roxio Easy Cd Creator (data disc) to a cd-r disc. The only DIFFERENCE created was that previously ALL her stored pictures were associated with a viewer called "Zoner". She uninstalled that software and they all became associated with a software we have by "Magix". Really cannot see how that would have made any difference. The newly created disc has all the images she burned VIEWABLE and all are jpeg or bitmap as they were before being burned to the cd.

This would not be possible FROM the cd disc ...

Why not?
