Do I Need to Keep Lrv and Thm Files?

Do I Need to Save LRV and THM Files? Not really. The MP4 files are the important ones. The LRV and THM are used as temporary utility files and contain no useful information beyond the original MP4.

What are THM files for?

A THM, or thumbnail, file stores a small image from the video clip's first frame and is used to easily see the contents of a collection of video clips. This is a very useful tool for those looking through video clips.

How do I stop my GoPro from making LRV files?

There is no way and never will be a way to disable the creation of LRV Files since they are an intigral part of how the GoPro camera works from the GP2 to the GP8.
