Testing has established that most attempts to import a WebEx ARF recording into Video On Demand are successful. For the times import is not successful, the vendors for WebEx and Video On Demand, Cisco and Kaltura, have not yet been able to establish a cause and path to resolution for the issue. \n\nWhile the issue continues to be investigated, it is being treated as a known issue, and information has been added to the Web Conferencing and Video On Demand service sites to inform people whose upload does not work that they can convert the file to WMV using the WebEx Network-Based Recording Tool on a Windows computer. \nhttp://www.it.cornell.edu/services/webconferencing/howto/webex/convert-recordings.cfm Testing has established that most attempts to import a WebEx ARF recording into Video On Demand are successful.

See http://www.it.cornell.edu/services/webconferencing/howto/webex/convert-recordings.cfm\n\nThe issue is that when a WebEx recording is uploaded to Video on Demand in the native WebEx format (ARF), a conversion error is returned and the file is not transcoded. An incorrect time duration for the recording may also be shown (too short). Only the ARF format appears to be affected.\n\nThe Video on Demand vendor (Kaltura) is investigating the issue.
