What is an HSR file?

HSR files mostly belong to HandiSoft Report. The HSR file is used in two different ways. In many cases, it is a HandiSoft Report file that uses a ZIP container for archiving report data like logs or statistics, sometimes also known as a Hancock & Hustler data file.
This means the file can be opened with standard ZIP extraction tools to view its internal components.
In other cases, the file is a HERO video data file. This version is designed for compressed game replay data and stores video segments that can be used to review game sessions.
Some users have found that renaming the file extension to .zip can help in examining its contents if it is a report archive.
Additional points to note include:
  • If you have a HandiSoft Report version, use a ZIP decompression tool to extract and view the data.
  • If you have a HERO video version, try using a dedicated video or game replay viewer. More details in this area can be seen on the GoPro website.
  • How to open HSR files

    You need a suitable software like HandiSoft Report to open an HSR file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your HSR file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a HSR file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
