Default PDR data download RaceRender

Is there any way to get the data from my C7Z PDR into RaceRender? I put it in the Cosworth Toolbox and it looks great and gives a great amount of info. Was really excited because it's exactly what I'm looking for, until I realized there is no way to download it.
Suggestions on how to get some use from the PDR data?
Not interested in trying to do it on my phone.
thanks

Racerender and other non Cosworth video tools can load the PDR mp4 file, however, all of the data capture information will be stripped from the file. If you want to add any of the captured data, you will need to display it on your computer, screen capture it and add the data as a photo in Racerender. I haven't used the PC video capture tool that captures video information from the screen and camera (for presentations) so I am not sure if the resulting file is compatible with Racerender.

Thanks. I tried Cosworth Toolbox by uploading an MP4 from the PDR. It uploaded and also imported all the data from the associated .png data blob file, so I was able to see lap times, top speeds, tire pressure, tire temp, etc. Only problem is all I can do is look at it. I want to be able to export it to a usable format and there doesn't appear to be a way to do so. Wondering if there is a paid version with this functionality, or they are forcing you to use their smartphone app (which I don't want to do).

Use Pi Toolbox which is also made by Cosworth. They have a free version. Total crap regarding the user interface but once you get the hang of it, it does a lot. You can graph, chart, etc all the data the PDR captures and sync it against the PDR video as well as GPS created track maps.

1% of what you can do with it.....





I was looking at some temp and pressure data on a different track

Thanks, just tried something similar. Used Movavi screen capture to capture the video and create an mp4 file. That works for now.
