The .rdg file format belongs to Morae, usability testing software developed by TechSmith for Microsoft Windows.
An .rdg file stores recorded video in Morae's proprietary format. It is intended to be used as part of a Morae recording rather than as a general-purpose video file.
The format is closely tied to the Windows version of Morae and may not be supported by ordinary video players. The file may also use encryption.
Open an .rdg file in Morae from TechSmith on Microsoft Windows, using the Morae component that manages and plays recorded sessions. Install the software first if it is not already available, then open the file from within Morae.
General-purpose media players are not expected to open this proprietary recording format.
No reliable conversion method for .rdg files is known. If the installed Windows version of Morae provides recording management or export features, use those features to export the recording to a supported format.
Exporting may not preserve all of the recording-session data stored in the original file, and the proprietary or possibly encrypted format may prevent conversion outside Morae.
