TREC to MP4 - How to Finish the Conversion for Better Compatibility

Updated Apr 08,2019 | by Micky

If you like recording and editing videos, you must know Camtasia, a screen capture and video editing program similar to Fraps. It's able to record videos from different sources like YouTube and Twitch and add special effects or remarks in your video. However, the recordings created by Camtasia are all in .trec, an exclusive video format that can only be opened and viewed in Camtasia which means you can’t upload this kind of videos to YouTube directly or play them on any standard media player.

Yes, it seems quite inconvenient compared with other common video formats that have much better compatibility. So, in the following tutorial, I will introduce several ways to convert .trect to .mp4, .avi, and other video formats with both Camtasia and a third-party video converter.

In fact, you don’t need to look for a professional TREC to MP4 converter because Camtasia allows you to finish this conversion with its inbuilt video converter.

Notice: Camtasia is the only tool that can finish .trec to .mp4 conversion.

1.       Launch Camtasia.

2.       Import the TREC recording.

3.       Click on “Share” on the upper right and choose “Local File”.

4.       Choose MP4 as the output format and begin the conversion.

As you can see in the above contents, Camtasia’s inbuilt video converter is limited for it only supports TREC to MP4 conversion. If you want to convert TREC to AVI or any other formats, another third-party software is needed.
