Programs to open CMREC file
Remember to download programs supporting CMREC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Camtasia Studio with CMREC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CMREC file to open in the Camtasia Studio application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CMREC file with the Camtasia Studio program.
Step 3. Update Camtasia Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Camtasia Studio with Camtasia Recording there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the TechSmith Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMREC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The CMREC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CMREC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CMREC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CMREC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CMREC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CMREC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting TechSmith, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CMREC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the CMREC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
