What is an LRV file?

LRV files mostly belong to GoPro by GoPro. LRV files contain low resolution videos recordings captured with GoPro High-Definition (HD) camcorders such as the HERO5, HERO7, HERO8, HERO9, or Fusion. An LRV video is compressed in MPEG-4 format with 29.97 frames per second at 240p resolution. LRV videos are recorded in parallel with HD videos and they are used to reduce compute requirements when editing the video. After editing, the system uses the final edition of the LRV video to generate an edited version of the HD video. LRV files are also necessary to support copying, playback, and sharing via the GoPro app or Quick, a dedicated video, image, and software management software for GoPro camcorders. LRV filename extension is also associated with a data file format used by Data Management, a data management software for Konica Minolta light measurement devices.

LRV file format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Our evaluation of the LRV files looks like this:
