Extract text from L64 files
To convert your L64 file to another format, you need Farming Simulator 22 or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Compiled Script / Security Video" file type, you need software like Farming Simulator 22 or a similar tool.
The .l64 extension represents two distinct, incompatible file formats used in niche industries.
The most frequent use (approx. 76%) is a compiled Lua script used by Farming Simulator (FS19, FS22). These are binary files containing obfuscated LuaJIT bytecode. Game developers and modders use this format to package game logic and prevent casual tampering.
The Problem: You cannot open these in a text editor like Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code. Attempting to edit them directly will corrupt the file and crash the game.
The Solution: To edit the code, you must first convert (decompile) the .l64 file back into a readable LUA text file. This requires specialized community tools like l64decode or specific LuaJIT decompilers. After editing the LUA file, it must be re-compiled to work in multiplayer or specific game modes.
A minority of files are proprietary video streams generated by older Lorex security DVRs and NVRs.
The Problem: These are raw video data streams that standard players like VLC Media Player cannot recognize or play correctly. They are typically created when backing up footage directly to a USB drive without selecting a conversion option.
The Solution: For evidence or archiving, these must be converted to MP4 or AVI. This is best done using the official Lorex Player software or by re-exporting the footage from the DVR.

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 L64 converter.
