Viewing WP 8.1 Living Images on a PC?

[Windows Central Question]

hey guys, is there any way to play those living images (lumia 1520) on a windows 7 PC ????

Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable.

Navigate to the pictures with File explorer. Note that there are 4 copies of every file by date/time stamp such as

1. WP_20141107_14_02_27_Pro.jpg
2. WP_20141107_14_02_27_Pro.mp4.thm
3. WP_20141107_14_02_27_Pro.mp4.tnl
4. WP_20141107_14_02_27_Pro_highres.jpg

This is assuming you are set to capture JPEG (5MP + 16MP)...

WP = Windows Phone, 20141107 = 2014/Nov/07th, 14_02_27 = 2PM/02min/27sec

Pro.jpg = the 5MP image for sharing ease
Pro_highres.jpg = the high quality 16MP image
Pro.mp4.tnl = the thumbnail of the image file (smaller than 5MP even)

Pro.mp4.thm is the actual living image (motion capture) in a reduced format. Note the file size is smaller than the 5MP image!!!

Copy the appropriate Pro.mp4.thm file(s) to your computer. Right click the file(s) > Properties > and in the file name, edit off the .thm so it says ​WP_20141107_14_02_27_Pro.mp4 and it will now be playable as a Media Player file (or whatever default player you have for mp4 video.

This is exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you very much!
Those living images are very useful. It's a shame there is no built in export yet.
