The Replay Export tool converts the *.urc files into an uncompressed video stream, which is then fed into a specified video codec for compression. The tool is simply designed to allow conversions of recording files to video without altering any of the default configuration options. However, conversion to video files is a complicated process, and while we only recommend this for experienced users, an array of configuration options is also available to tune the conversion process and get the best results.
The .urc recording file format is specifically tailored to accurately record screen activity and provides excellent quality, with a very small file size. Converting the files to video usually results in a perceptible loss in quality, coupled with an increase in file size. However, some recordings where screen activity is complicated may benefit from conversion.
Video compression is a slow and CPU intensive operation. It may take several minutes to convert a short recording to video. Therefore, you should test conversion on short recordings at first to check that the conversion is optimal.
The AVI file format lets you store uncompressed video. Be aware that uncompressed video files are extremely large (typically at least 1 GB per minute), and therefore not recommended.
Note: As you can now play back *.urc recording files directly in the Windows Media Player without loss in quality, as long as the Remote Control replayer application is installed, you should consider whether this is the best solution for your needs.
