What is TREC file?
TREC refers to Camtasia Studio Recorded Session, a file format used for recording video lecture or presentations on TechSmith Camtasia Studio. It includes audio, video, images, annotations, captions, and voice narration compressed into a single file. The TREC file format can be used with third-party playback and conversion applications, but is primarily designed for use with Camtasia Studio. A TREC file contains data encoded in an MPEG-4 container format and employs several different codecs. [ ⏩ ] TREC file extension

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from TREC to AV?
To successfully convert the TREC file to AV, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.TREC). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case AV (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than AV).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. TREC to AV. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting TREC files to AV files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension AV, while before this step we had the TREC file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new AV file, or not.
