LG TV Video Recording Format STR Unreadable on PC

Hello,

As mentioned in the title, I have an LG TV with all the features (smartshare and all that)...
The problem is that when I connect an external hard drive and record, a video ends up in "recordings." When I click on the video, it displays without issues, and the recording goes smoothly.
Now, apparently, the format of this video is special... It's in STR format...

When I connect the same external hard drive to my PC, I can see a LG folder, and when I enter the folder, I find a "REC" folder, inside which there are plenty of files, with the STR files being the largest. I deduce that these are the recorded videos.

The problem is that I have no idea how to open them or convert them into another video format...

I am completely lost, I type "STR Format" on Google my friend, but to no avail; it shows a corrector saying: (try spelling sRt) which is a subtitle format...

If anyone can help me, that would be great!!

Thank you

    Hello,
    The video formats of the TV PVRs are proprietary formats and can only be played by the device that recorded them for copyright reasons.
