How to view old BI recordings

Post by VerySecure »

I have a number of old .bvr files that I want to view and convert. These files are sitting on my hard drive but no longer appear in any list within BI. Is there a way to "reload" them into BI for viewing?

Hi, what happens if you double click one of those .bvr files ?

You have two options....
- Double-click the .bvr file and it will open & play in BI.
- Drag and Drop the bvr file anyplace in the BI console.
