Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Camtasia "camrec" files

Rich,

I just opened my copy of Camtasia and looked up .camrec and got this in the
online Help:

"Camtasia Studio records in one of two file formats: as a CAMREC or as an
AVI. By default, recordings are saved as a CAMREC file.

The CAMREC is a custom file container that holds more than just a video
file. Other video editing software can't read or open a CAMREC file. The
data contained in the CAMREC allows you to edit your video within Camtasia
Studio after recording is complete."

Further down the page on this Help topic, it does say:

"The Extract CAMREC Contents option allows you to extract the screen (AVI)
and camera (WMV) recording files from the CAMREC file. "

So if the client can extract the CAMREC contents as an .AVI, you should be
set to go.

I just did this with a sample .camrec file and it created a playable .avi
file (video and audio played fine).

Hope this helps!
