File extension rec is generally used for various recorded files. These can contain any multimedia content, session, macros or more. Such files are pretty common in digital devices that record audio or video.
For example Topfield TF5800 uses .rec files for its recorded videos. But plenty of programs and games, such as Company of Heroes for example use .rec files for their replays (recorded matches).
