Why convert LRV to BMP?
LRV is the low-resolution proxy video that GoPro and other action cameras record alongside each full-quality clip, for fast previews on phones and in apps. The opening frame of the clip is captured at the proxy's own resolution and saved as one still image.
BMP stores every pixel uncompressed, so the image is exact and simple to read by any software that handles Windows bitmaps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert LRV to BMP?
Drop your LRV file above and press Convert. Our servers read the LRV clip with FFmpeg, capture its first frame as a high-quality JPG, then encode that frame in the format you chose. The result is saved as an uncompressed BMP bitmap, ready to download.
Which moment of the LRV clip is saved in the BMP?
The first frame, the moment recording started. FFmpeg takes it from the clip's video track and saves it as a single still.
How does a LRV file relate to the full-quality clip it was recorded with, for the BMP?
An LRV is a lighter copy of the same recording in an MP4-style container, so the BMP shows the same opening scene as the full-quality clip, at the proxy's resolution.
How big is the BMP image from a LRV file?
The BMP is the first frame of the preview clip at the clip's own resolution.
What kind of BMP does the LRV converter create?
A standard Windows bitmap with every pixel stored uncompressed, so the image is an exact copy of the rendered result.
