Convert NRV to AVI

Understanding nrv and avi file formats

NRV is a proprietary video file format used by Neat Video, a popular video noise reduction plugin. NRV files are typically intermediate files generated during the noise reduction process and are not widely supported by standard media players or editors.

AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a well-known multimedia container format developed by Microsoft. It is widely supported by most video players and editing software, making it a popular choice for video distribution and editing.

Why convert nrv to avi?

Converting NRV files to AVI allows for easier playback, sharing, and editing. Since AVI is a standard format, it ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices and software.

How to convert nrv to avi

Because NRV is a proprietary format, direct conversion tools are rare. The best approach is to use Neat Video within a supported video editing application (such as Adobe Premiere Pro or VirtualDub) to export the processed video to AVI.

Step-by-step conversion using VirtualDub and Neat Video

1. Open VirtualDub and load your original video file.
2. Apply the Neat Video plugin to process the video (this generates the NRV intermediate file).
3. Once processing is complete, go to File → Save as AVI to export the final video in AVI format.

Note: If you only have the NRV file, you must use the same software and plugin that created it to open and export it.
