A Linux-based conversion utility that allows you to convert your Cisco WebEx network-based recording files, which are in WebEx Advanced Recording Format File (.arf), and which were created with WBS 26 or higher to an MPEG-4 (.mp4) format.
System Requirements
Linux OS: 32-bit Ubuntu 8.10/9.04, Fedora 10/11, Red Hat RHEL WS 5 and openSUSE 10.3/11.1
Processor: Intel x86 or compatible processor (Dual Core 2.0 GHz or higher is recommended)
RAM: 1GB or Higher
KDE/GNOME windowing system
Supported Cisco WebEx Product Version
WBS 26 or higher
Instructions (How to install the conversion utility and convert recordings)
1. On Linux, download and save the "nbr2mp4.tar" file to your home (~) directory 2. Open a terminal and navigate to your home directory: cd ~ 3. Extract the nbr2mp4 file to current directory: tar -xvf nbr2mp4.tar ./ 4. Make the file executable: chmod +x ./nbr2mp4.sh 5. Install the nbr2mp4 utility in the default (home) directory: ./nbr2mp4.sh 6. Navigate to the newly created nbr2_mp4 utility directory: cd nbr2_mp4 7. Save your network-based recording file or ARF file to the nbr2_mp4 directory 8. To begin conversion, switch back to a terminal and run the following command from your nbr2_mp4 directory: ./nbr2mp4 SOURCE [MP4_DIRECTORY] [FPS]
For Example: ./nbr2mp4 filename.arf ./ 5
Command Description:
./nbr2mp4 - starts the converter
SOURCE: The name of the source Advanced Recording Format file (.arf) that you want to convert. Specify a path name if the file is in a directory other than the current directory. For this example it is filename.arf.
MP4_DIRECTORY: The directory for the MP4 output file. The output file will have the same base filename as the source file, but with a .mp4 extension. If MP4_DIRECTORY is not specified, the MP4 output file will be generated in the same directory as the SOURCE file. The value for MP4_DIRECTORY in this example is ./, which also generates the MP4 output file in the same directory as the SOURCE file.
FPS: The number of frames per second, which should be between 3 and 10, default = 5. The FPS number used in this example is 5. The higher the frame rate, the better the quality of the output file. However, a higher FPS will cause the output file size to increase and will require higher CPU utilization during the conversion.
*Note: The conversion will take as long as the entire playback duration for your original network-based recording file. For example, an hour-long network-based recording file will take an hour to convert. The conversion time may also vary based on the FPS specified during conversion.
A trace utility used for case escalations related to DNS/latency/network issues. Gathers the following:
