EdSharp usually accomplishes file conversions via external utilities. The one configured for .brf files is NFBTrans. Since it is a 16-bit executable, it does not run on 64-bit Windows, unfortunately.
A year or so ago, I tried to find C programmers via this and the program-l list who could port the code so that it compiled with a modern C compiler that creates 32-bit executables. A few people said they would try, but no one reported a successful effort.
I hope to try Braille Blaster as an alternative converter. Can anyone report whether that program has a command-line version which is in a state that works well on Windows?

Hi all, I just tried opening a brf file with edSharp, the first time I have tried that in quite a while. Here is the dialog that popped up. Obviously, this is on win64. Unsupported 16-Bit Application The program or feature "\??\C:\PROGRA~2\EdSharp\Convert\NFBTrans\NFBTRANS.EXE" cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available. OK
