Extract text from Game data and logs (TRV)
To convert TRV Log files to another format, you need TrackMania or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Level & Trace Log" file type, you need software like TrackMania or a similar tool.
The .TRV file extension represents multiple distinct, highly specialized formats. Its most prominent use is as a game level or replay file for games like TrackMania or TalesRunner, holding the 3D coordinates, track layouts, and timing data required by the game engine to reconstruct gameplay. In the manufacturing sector, .TRV files function as Cutter Activity Trace Files generated by Lectra automated fabric cutting systems (like Lectra Modaris) to log machine time recording and cutter head movements. It also serves as a JSON-based hardware system configuration file for Altronix Trove units.
Users frequently face difficult limitations when handling .TRV files. The game-related files are proprietary binary instruction sets, not standard video files. This means it is impossible to open them in media players like VLC to watch a replay. Industrial trace files have similar restrictions; they contain proprietary vector data that standard CAD software like AutoCAD cannot import without expensive plugins. The Altronix files, while plain text JSON, are strictly designed to be read by the proprietary Trove backup utility.
Because of these locked ecosystems, direct conversion targets are limited. For gaming .TRV files, you cannot simply convert them to video. The only realistic solution is to load the file in the original game and use screen-recording software to capture an MP4 or MKV video. For Lectra trace logs and Altronix configurations, extracting the data to TXT, JSON, or CSV is often the only way to read the raw analytical data. Attempting to force a conversion using standard online tools usually corrupts the file.
This is where convert.guru offers a practical workaround. Standard converters fail because they do not understand the internal structure of closed formats. Just drag and drop your .TRV file to identify its true origin. We inspect the file and show the internal text or structure. If our analysis detects a supported underlying format like JSON, viewing or conversion to standard text formats may still be possible without the original software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TRV file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GPX, CLIENT and ECG files.

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 TRV converter.
