RDG File

In files with the .RDG extension, video data captured by TechSmith Corporation's Morae software are stored. This is a proprietary format, only readable by applications from the Morae suite: Recorder, Observer, or Manager. These applications are used for testing within the Microsoft Windows operating system environment - for data analysis, creating video clips, and presentations.

Creation of RDG Files in the System

Files with the .RDG extension are created by the Morae Recorder program. It is located on the computer - the system on which the test is to be conducted. Working in the background, it allows for simultaneous:

• recording screen activity,
• recording the image from a camera connected to the computer,
• optional transmission of images from both sources to the connected Observer application.

Starting and stopping the activity is also possible from the Observer application on another computer. During the session, task logs can be created, which are attached to the final recording at the end.

Playback of Morae Recorded Video - RDG

The file with the test session recording on the device where the test was performed is saved in the .RDG format. Its playback is only possible after the session ends, solely in the Morae Manager software. A copy of the recording can also be saved on a computer with the connected Observer application, then it takes the form of a file in the .WMV format and a text file .TXT with session logs. The software allows for the creation of .AVI clips or PowerPoint presentations from the recording materials, as well as analyses and charts.
