Extract text from F1 game replays (FRR)
To convert FRR replays to another format, you need Codemasters F1 or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Race Replay File" file type, you need software like Codemasters F1 or a similar tool.
An .FRR file is primarily an F1 Game Replay or flashback file created by the Codemasters F1 video game series, now published by EA Sports. These files record telemetry, physics data, track variables, and driver inputs from a specific race session. They are natively opened and rendered by the specific F1 video game that generated them, such as F1 2021 or F1 22.
Users typically want to convert .FRR files to standard video formats to share their laps on YouTube or social media. However, an .FRR file is not a video. It does not contain pixels or audio frames. It is a highly compressed, proprietary data file that simply instructs the game engine on how to reconstruct the race in real-time. The major disadvantage of this format is extreme vendor lock-in. An .FRR file from one year's game usually cannot even be read by the next year's sequel, making long-term storage of replays practically useless without the original software.
Because it contains telemetry data rather than media, you cannot directly convert an .FRR file to MP4, MKV, or AVI using typical conversion pipelines. The most reliable real-world workaround is to load the replay inside the F1 game and capture your screen using external tools like OBS Studio or Nvidia ShadowPlay.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary format heavily dependent on a multi-gigabyte 3D game engine. Standard online converters fail to process it because they look for video headers that simply do not exist. Our tools can inspect the file, read the internal structure, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or metadata extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FRR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted FBR, ROFL, REPLAY and PEG files.
If you want to convert FRR file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use Codemasters F1 or similar software from the "Game Replay Telemetry Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to FRR, try Codemasters F1 or another comparable tool in the "Game Replay Telemetry Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FRR converter.
