Convert CXT to DIR

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert CXT to DIR?
Yes - CXT converts to DIR.

CXT (protected cast) cannot be directly converted to an editable DIR (Director movie) by automated tools - the protection prevents asset extraction. Within Director itself, a CXT cast can be linked to a movie but its contents remain locked. If you own the original CST source file, use that instead of the CXT.
