# What is a .CAR file?

|| **Question** 
What is a .CAR file?

| **Answer**

The .CAR file format is specifically used when storing the Cathexis archived recorded footage from the software.

Archived recordings stored in .CAR retain their authenticity and can be verified as authentic(unaltered) on replay,making them suitable for use in courts of law.

To play a .CAR file on your PC, you are required to have a media player that does so.

This media player can be exported using the Cathexis software or will be available on any machine that has the Cathexis software installed. 

Should you not have access to the archive viewer please chat to the administrator of the Cathexis software.
