Videos are often combined with images, sound, and text for use in software demos or training videos. Another file that uses this extension is a Mercury screen recording used by the HP Quality Center software for sending video evidence of problem software during testing.

FBR is also short for some other technical terms, but they don&#39;t have anything to do with the file formats mentioned on this page. Examples include front-to-back ratio with regard to antenna signal strength, and the fabric-based replication technique for storing data. <h2> How to Play FBR Video Files </h2> FlashBack videos are made and opened with the free FlashBack Express software suite (previously called BB FlashBack).

If you want to play the FBR video in other programs like VLC, or on an Android or iOS device, you should first convert it to a format like MP4 (see how below) that's supported by those programs and devices. Some versions of TestAssistant, another program from the same makers of FlashBack Express, use the FBR file extension as well, but only for versions 1.5 and newer.

Older ones use the FBZ file extension. See this FlashBack Support article if your FBR file is corrupt and causing problems when you try to open it. HP's Mercury screen recorder produces FBR files only when connected to Micro Focus' Quality Center.

Once the video is in one of those formats, you can run the file through a free video converter to save it to a different format like FLV (and dozens of others), or even to just an audio file format like MP3. FlashBack Express can also convert a regular video file into the FBR file format, through the Tools &gt; Convert Video File to FlashBack Express Movie menu.

<h2> Still Can&#39 t Open the File </h2> The first thing to check if you can't get your file to open with the programs mentioned above is its file extension. Make sure it reads "FBR" and not something similar like BRL, BR5, GBR, or FOB. Just because the file extensions look similar (they share some of the same letters) doesn't mean they can open with the same programs.

Also, keep in mind that older versions of TestAssistant (prior to 1.5) use the FBZ file extension but that the file still might open with FlashBack Express. If you're sure that you're dealing with an FBR file that was created by the FlashBack screen recording software and double-clicking the file doesn't let you play it, consider changing the default program that opens FBR files to be FlashBack Express.
