Note: Recorded sessions can be saved as AVI files or in RCREC format. RCREC is a GoTo proprietary format that must be converted to AVI using the LogMeIn Rescue AVI Converter. Each AVI option offers similar file size, with some variations in color and smoothness. Experiment to find the best choice to meet your needs. The GoTo encoder (RASC) is designed to offer the highest overall quality, but requires the GoTo codec for playback. - Want to learn more?
