You still have the krec-file? If yes, you can open it with ktar or untar it 
directly on the commandline-interface. KRec simply uses Tar (and gzip) to 
pack a directory with several soundfiles and a configurationfile. The 
soundfiles are raw wave, no *.wav. But audacity (and other programs) will 
open them with the right parameters (sampling rate, bit depth, mono/stereo), 
you can find the parameters in the config-file if I remember correctly.

I know KRec has problems with big files but that is afaik a problem of the 
used kde parts (KTempDir and KTar(?)). And you need as much free space on 
your temp-partition as the krec-file is big after unzipping and untarring...

One last comment: Use a proper audio-program for big recordings like audacity, 
sweep, rezound...

Ask back for questions,

Arnold
