The file easyData.dxr when ran with projectorrays decompile -o easyData.dir easyData.dxr yields a good result:
Decompiled Macromedia Director 4.0 movie easyData.dxr to easyData.dir

However attempting to extract easyData.dir with DirectorCastRipper_D12 fails with: The specified movie file could not be loaded: easyData.dir

Using DirectorCastRipper_D10 it gets a little bit further with some Where is popups, but it also fails in the end just producing a single nearly empty Casts.csv file.

Here is what discmaster 1 extracted (it directly used macromedia director at the time): https://discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/20874/Mac%20Magazin%20and%20MacEasy%20Magazine%20CD%20-%20Issue%2034.iso/MacEasy%20CD/easyData.dxr/easyData.dxr

This file also fails to extract. projectorrays decompiles it as a Director 4.0.4 movie: https://sembiance.com/fileFormatSamples/archive/macromediaDirector/cs

Same error as the other movie: The specified movie file could not be loaded: cs.dir

Found another file that won't extract. Identified as Macromedia Director 5.0 cast by projectorrays: https://sembiance.com/fileFormatSamples/archive/macromediaDirector/julie.dir

These and other extract ok directly in Macromedia Director, see the files here: https://discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/829/Ass%20Troids.iso/pc/pc/cast
