How to download Adobe connect recorded meeting?

I have the same question. I would like to download the recoded meeting. How to do that?

Regards,

Valee

Only the HOST of the meeting can offer that option.

The HOST has to go into Adobe Conenct Central and access their room. On Connect Central they go to the recordings tab under the room and select the recording. Once selected they can choose "Make Public" and then "Make Offline". At that stage they will see Connect Add-In launch and the meeting will play completely from start to end. It has to record that "playback" locally so the PC/Mac cannot be used for anything else while that is going on. Once completed the FLV file is located on the local PC/Mac. That FLV file can be posted anywhere for others to download. You could use the File Share POD in a public room to share the file for people to download.

If I don't see those options to choose from should I contact my Admin? Because I do have the option to record just can't find them afterwards.

Thanks

The options that Heyward lists are on the server side of Connect, not within the Meeting. If you are in the meeting room, go to the Meeting menu and select the Manage Meeting Room option. Otherwise, log into the server and browse to your meeting room. From there select the Recordings link. You should see a list of all recordings that have been made in that room. In that list there will be a link to Make Offline for each recording.

Hi,

One more eaier way to go to the recording option is .

when you logged in the meeting as an Host click on this link in meeting menu :

This option will be available to you when you are a host for that meeting.

After this step please folow the step mentioned by Jorma abd Heyward.

Hello,

I am trying to access JBK Courses Student Jam 7-29-2013.

This is my first time trying to get into this.  Am I missing something?

Thanks, Ruth

You should receive a URL to access the course from JBK. This thread is not relevant to your needs for access, but is more of a management tool. If your provider is offering and off-line version of the recording then they likely already went through these steps.

On Adobe 9.1 is possible to download recorded meeting in the same way? What is changed? Do I need to schedule an event in order to record it also if I invite less than 5 partecipants?

In Connect 9.1, the Make Offline function will be the same. There may be additional options as well, but this won't be removed.

Thanks!

Another question: is it normal that actually, in the offline mode, video and audio are not well sincronyzed? How can I solve this problem? Do you know if in the new release this function will be improved?

This is not normal. Some error may have occurred when the off-line recording was created. It could have been something a simple as a network or system resource limit was reached and the recording suffered as a result. The easiest solution it probably to have the FLV version re-created.

I realize I never answered your other question, the viewing of the recording is not tied to the new scheduling policies of the Seminar rooms. Since the recording is considered Content, there is no viewing limit on it.

It is very strange. If a view the online recording it is perfect, but the off-line mode not.

Do you know what I have to check?

Like I said, the off-line version must have had an issue when being created, create a new version for off-line viewing with the computer creating that video dedicated to that creation process, and see if that yields a better result.

I'll follow your advise!

Thanks

Thank you for all of the emails that tell me how to download adobe.  I seem not to have had any problems with your downloads, but I will contact you if I do.  Please unsubscribe me for future

emailings.  Thanks, Ruth

Unfortunatly nothing is changed. The video is still too slow compared with the audio. Any other idea?

There is also this Knowledge Base article:

Tomorrow I'll upgrade to the new version 9.1. Do you think I can loose my old recordings?

Hi lcastellini,

Your old content including recordings will remain intact.. You can enjoy the new C9.1 features along with old content without any issues.

Thanks

I have still a problem with the off-line version.

Finally I decided to avoid video. So I used audio+slide. The problem is that the quality of the audio in the online version is perfect but it gets worse during the playback.

Haow can I solve this?

Thanks

FWIW, If you are just doing slides and audio, that may be better done with Presenter. I do conversions to Presenter from recordings from time to time by pulling the audio from the recording source files and then splitting it up and placing it in Presenter. Then I retain control over editing/quality and have something that I can come back to modify if needed.

Truthfully, its not the fastest process (usually around 2x the length of the presentation to get it put together and edited) but has proven less time consuming than fighting with the offline recordings function.

This is for people still looking for an answer.

If you are starting with long form URL, like:

https://XXXXXX.adobeconnect.com/a1b2c3d4e5/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=normal

then trim it down until it looks like:

https://XXXXXX.adobeconnect.com/a1b2c3d4e5/

(this is the URL you usually send to people to send them to your video) Now append the following to the shortened URL:

output/filename.zip?download=zip

...making our example above:

https://XXXXXX.adobeconnect.com/a1b2c3d4e5/output/filename.zip?download=zip

Simple!

I could down load the meeting content using output/filename.zip?download=zip

Thank you for providing this process.

Files are downloaded as FLV and XML files.

When played FLV file through VLC media player, picture was appearing proper but without sound. Is there any solution?

Shesh,

This thread is pretty old and goes through many versions of Connect, so the information contained in it may be misleading.

The method of downloading the source files for Connect recordings mention just above your post doesn't get you a playable version of the recording. Just the bits and pieces that Connect assembles to recreate the live meeting experience. If you want a playable video of the meeting recording you'll need to use the make offline option, explained here: Creating an offline MP4 file from your recording - Adobe Connect User Community

Does that help?

Thank yiu for response.

As per this info vedio can be made offline in meeting room by host.

I am looking to make it offline for a meeting which occurred in past and hosted by third person. This vedio is available online but to view it I need to visit the site every time.

Is there any way-out?

You can do a number of things.

• The easiest would be to get Host rights to the desired room or rooms and then you can download and create the videos of from the recordings.
• You can move the recordings to the Content library and manage them as content with no association to the meeting room or its permissions.
• User eSyncTraining's solution for MP4 conversions of meeting recordings (adds and additional cost, but may out weigh the cost of you or your staff's time and effort). eSyncTraining - MP4 Service with Automated Subtitling

If you have Administrator permissions, then you shouldn't need Host rights to the meeting rooms. It is also worth pointing out you do not need to be a member of the Meeting Host group to create the offline MP4's as show in the above tutorial.

Thank you!!!

As informed earlier the meeting was hosted by third person, so I have no right to the meeting room. And as of now I am not a member of adobe-connect.

To get host rights to the desired room what is complete process, if you can explain please. 

Ah, I understand that it was hosted by another person. I didn't catch that you didn't have any access on the account.

If you need an MP4 or FLV version of the recording you'll need to reach out to the person/group in charge of that Connect account and either request that they make the conversion or that they give you access to do so. I suspect asking kindly for them to do a conversion for you would be the best way to go.

Thank you for providing info.

Anyone has found any way to convert the .zip file of the session, with .flv and .xml files on it, to a mp4 or avi file without sync problems?

I have become crazy trying to merge audio and video (since both are in different files, and since both files have different duration, I always have sync problems.

I have tried the solution proposed above (upload a .zip file into adobe, and generate an mp4 files), but choosing high quality gives me audio errors in the mp4 generated by adobe.

After chatting with them, their solution was to generate it in normal quality (no HD or ultra HD), but that way, I have worse resolution that the original and are some pictures on the presentation really difficult to watch correctly.

I want to have a 1920x1080 copy of the session with no video & audio problems and withouth sycn problems.

Any solution? 

I can not understand how adobe doesn't provide a tool to merge all the files contained into the .zip session file.

I cannot believe that there is not a better way to download a recording than watching each recording right through.

In my team we have numerous presentations going on each week (on average 1 hour per session) - it's almost a full-time job just to download each recording!!

Any workarounds? I saw the download .zip option but doesn't seem to be an easy way to merge these files together.

philinho85,

Since the recordings are not saved as a video (FLV or MP4) file on the Connect server, there is no option other than doing a conversion process to get a video file. As you have seen when downloading the zip of the recording source files, there is a lot there and Connect uses those files, while still calling to the content that is uploaded to Connect, to play back the recordings. So the recording source files will likely not even have all the presentations that were used in the live meeting when you download them.

So, your workarounds are to set up an automated script that requests new recordings from the server at whatever interval you desire and then have it create the offline versions of the recordings, or use eSync's MP4 conversion service, eSyncTraining - Live online Adobe Training Classes and Web Development Courses .

e-sync training has a service where they do the conversion for you if using the default process takes too much time because you are doing so many.  It can even be used to add closed captioning, post production.
