The .CPI file format is a camcorder clip information file. These files contain no actual video information, instead they are created with an .MTS file which holds the actual video data.

I have a hard drive camcorder, HG21 Canon. It's hard disk stores video files as .cpi. I can copy files onto my computer hard drive via the USB connection, but I can't open the files. There is only a USB port no IEEE port on the camcorder. Need help in opening .cpi video files.

bill >> like the article says, the .cpi is only the clip information file. it contains no actual video data but rather information that coinsides with the video files. the video files will likely be .mts or .m2ts.

I copied videos to Pro Duo card and it doesn't put the file extension in the file name. I cannot open the video in Media Center and have not found a fix yet. Do I have to rename the files? I thought I could view the video once and from then on, no luck. I read about codecs etc.

The camcorder (I have a Vixia HF-200) does require the .cpi file. I've copied .mts files from the camera's SD card to a hard drive, and back to the card. If the .cpi files are not also copied, the camera won't know the .mts files exist and it won't regenerate the .cpi files, so the video is effectively lost.
