Extract text from NV files
To convert your NV file to another format, you need ChanSort or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration Backup" file type, you need software like ChanSort or a similar tool.
The .NV file extension represents a split ecosystem of usage, primarily functioning as a settings backup for LG Electronics televisions or a project file for the Node Video mobile editing app.
In the context of LG TVs, this file acts as a binary dump of the Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM). Users typically generate these files when exporting "Hotel Mode" settings or system configurations to a USB drive. The core friction here is that .NV files are proprietary binary blobs; they are not designed to be human-readable or edited on a PC. Opening them in a standard text editor reveals garbled code. To "convert" these for analysis, users generally rely on hex editors or specialized homebrew tools to parse the data into TXT or XML, though the primary intent is simply to archive the file and restore it to a TV later.
Alternatively, video creators encounter .NV files as project saves from Node Video on Android or iOS. A frequent point of confusion is treating this file as a playable video. It is actually a JSON-based instruction list (similar to an AEP file in After Effects) containing references to media assets, effects, and timeline data, not the video frames themselves. You cannot upload an .NV file to YouTube or play it in VLC Media Player. To make this content usable, you must open the project within the Node Video app and use the internal rendering engine to export the final composition as a standard MP4 or MOV file.
Convert.Guru analyzes your NV file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted NV0000069, DEFAULT, ZIP, BIN, SQLITE, IDB, ADB, V and MV files.
If you want to convert NV file to V, MV, DB, SQLITE, SQLITE3, MDB, ACCDB, DBF, ODB, FDB, GDB or MYD, you can use ChanSort or similar software from the "TV Settings Backup" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert NDF, SQLITE3, BAK, RDB, SQL, DB4, MDF, MDB, LDF, DB, DB3 or SQLITE files to NV, try ChanSort or another comparable tool in the "TV Settings Backup" 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 NV converter.
