Verify That tDAR Supports Your Formats
Table 1 contains information about which popular file formats tDAR supports. If your file type is not listed in the field "tDAR “tDAR Supported File Types" Types” then you will need to convert your files before submitting them to tDAR.
...
File conversion tools can be found by searching the web using a phrase similar to "converting “converting X file type to Y file type" type” where X is the file extension your data are in and Y is the file extension tDAR supports for that same resource type.
...
Noting any file conversions in a resource's "General Notes" resource’s “General Notes” metadata field is an excellent practice.
