"Linktivity has stopped supporting this application, http://linktivity.com has even disappeared from the Internet ..."
It seems they were bought out by Mitel Software , so now everything is under the Mitel brand.
"I just want to find a way to manipulate this file extension, a new good player for mobile and computers."
To open / edit these .lrec files using modern software, you will have to look at them:
I tried:
- To contact them, just to check the facts, but they expect a real-time telephone conversation with the seller, so this is not an option. I would be a fake potential customer, but you could provide a real problem (with details) to find out if they can solve it.
- He also downloaded the MiCollab app for Android, but he needs login information before starting anything (so no progress to check if the .lrec file from the PC will open in Android).
Export video for mobile playback :
I tried desktop programs. Unfortunately, it does not accept external commands, so there is no way to make a script that accepts multiple lrec and returns multiple AVI.
The only option is to extract the frames from the .lrec bytes and use a tool like FFmpeg to combine the images (since it seems to capture the image as frames) into one .MP4 video. MP4 is then played on mobile devices.
Also, any of your existing AVI files must be converted from FFmpeg to MP4.
Here you can download FFmpeg for Windows (just a blue button, ignore other options).
- Copy the
ffmpeg.exe file to some folder, for example c:\ffmpeg , and put your avi. - Now open a command prompt and make
cd C:\ffmpeg to access the folder, then type:
ffmpeg -i filename.avi filename.mp4 (replace the file name with your preferred input and output) - If you know how to simply include the ffmpeg.exe path to the
PATH control panel settings so that FFmpeg can be obtained from any folder (there is no need to move the files to your folder).
PS:
I'm still learning how to get frames in akward format without specs (byte order is Big Endian, but then the input values are filled in like Little Endian, and also are not sure whether to cancel every two or four bytes, because it mixed up like that, and etc., and the pixel bytes themselves seem to have compression, but this is not JPEG anymore like ZIP or something else). So far, only confirmed bytes for video width and video height. This seems doable, although if .lrec contains only entries on the screen.
