I am desperately trying to convert my CCF or CSF file into a MXF. I have been trying to do this for a friend for several weeks now with now luck. He has a Philips TSU2000 and I got him a new MX-850. Is there any easy way to convert the files or am I best off to just buy him a new TSU2000 and download the codes to it (even though he hates the Pronto). Please let me know!

Thanks,
Ryan

You should be able to use the universal browser to drag and drop IR codes. Well most IR codes.... well learned IR codes.

A lot of them are not learned, and a lot are from a previous unfamiliar complicated setup involving multiple receivers, amplifiers, video distributors, and other controllers. What do you suggest?

One option is to use:
1) my DecodeCCF program to decode the old CCF file
2) Excel or similar program to read and sort DecodeCCF output into an easier to use sequence.
3) my MakeHex program once for each set of protocol/device from the decodes to recreate clean Pronto Hex in the form the MX-850 software considers "learned".
4) Irpanels.exe to convert MakeHex output to CCF files with numbered buttons
5) Universal browser to read those CCF files, then manually consult the sorted list in Excel to see which numbered buttons to drag to which named functions of the MX-850

DecodeCCF, MakeHex and IrPanels are all free downloads discussed in other threads in this and other RC forums. Excel is convenient for this task, but not required.
