What is a .rec File

Typically, REC files are digital video recordings created by Topfield PVR digital video recorders. Also known as Toppies, such files are saved in a proprietary format and can be viewed on Topfield Audio Recorder player and some other media players such as VLC and MPEG Streamclip.
