I attached a file that I downloaded. It is a remote control file for some device similar to slingbox, called nettv5. It is supposed to control bbtv stb, Taiwan acble tv. I hope to be able to convert it to rmdu file. On their web site there are various files for other Taiwan cable tv. I often need to create bin file for slingbox for Taiwan cable tv. I sometimes don't have a original remote and if I can convert the irp files to rmdu, that saves me a lot of trouble.

Thanks.

It seems impossible as I opened the irf file, it doesn't seem to be recognisable characters.

The first 7 characters are "bbTV-V3", which is an indication that it is not a "common file format", since these tend to have the first N bytes (for some N) fixed.

Looking at the bytes gives me the impression that it in "not unlikely" that the file really consist of some unencrypted, binary IR data, FWIW...

. If that is the case, it is likely dirty learns (lots of consecutive Ctrl-E, Ctrl-D etc) so you might like to deploy another method.
