LRV File Documentation
A file containing the LRV extension is used to store low resolution video content. LRV format files are created together with HD or MP4 files and contain identical content, but of lower quality.
The LRV format was created by GoPro as a video format dedicated to cameras manufactured by GoPro. The main advantage of the LRV format is that it uses much less camera computing resources, which results in a faster recording and editing process.
Files with the LRV extension can be converted to any other video format. The LRV file format is primarily used to preview recorded video.
