Converting Webex video recordings to SCORM compliant courses

Hi Sameena,

I'm not going to pretend I know anything about Webex file types - but what type of content is in the video? Can you create a screen recording of the video and insert it into your course? Just a quick thought If that doesn't work for you, maybe someone with some Webex experience can give you some additional suggestions.

Good luck! Let us know if you find any other methods for this.

Sameena,

Goal #1 is to get your video into a usable format.  I'd suggest MP4.  If you search for converting Webex to MP4, you'll find a number of helpful links such as this one: https://support.webex.com/support/documentation/help/index.htm#21879.htm

Once it's in mp4 format, you can insert into Storyline.

Hi,

I am also trying to do something similar, but actually wanted to convert an WRF (Webex Presentation) file into MP3 (audio) so that I could take some audio clips from the presenter and embedded them into my course through some interactions.

BTW - it appears that Webex Network Recorder Player isn't able to convert WRF (Webex Presentation) files, only .ARF (Advanced Recording FIles).

I have looked into All to MP3 to do this, but it doesn't seem to support converting WRF files.

Any ideas or experience in making the WRF into an MP3 or something where I can take some audio clips?

Of course, I could always ask the Presenter to re-record, but not an option with this situation.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

BTW - here is the All to MP3 program I am talking about...haven't vetted it in terms of reliability or where it comes from...appears to be Shareware.

Kind of ironic that it is Tom's guide!

Simon,

If you can't find anything to go straight from WRF to MP3, you can still go through the same process above.  Convert to MP4 first and from there use a free tool such as Format Factory to convert to MP3.  It works pretty well.

How can I insert an MP4 into Storyline?

Nevermind; I figured it out.  :-)

Hi Annette!

Glad you were able to get this figured out. Thanks for popping in with an update. For anyone else that may see this, here is the documentation to add video :)

Hi All,

When I insert my "WebEx Recording converted to MP4" video into Storyline, there is no audio.  When I play the MP4 the audio is there.  Can't see any fields/switches I'm not flipping.  Any ideas?

Hi All - I should have been clearer, when I play the MP4 video using Windows Media Player, the audio is there.  It just isn't coming through when inserted into Storyline.

Hi Judy,

Are you playing it in the timeline preview, the whole course preview, or even when published? That'll help us narrow down what could be causing it! 

Also, if you want to share the .story file here we're happy to take a look! 

I've previewed from the timeline preview, the slide preview, the course preview and viewed from the published course.  No audio.

Attached is the file for your review.  Thank you! 

Hi Judy!

Assuming the audio is you talking about having audio, I hear it perfectly fine in your course.

A recent Adobe Flash Player update may be the problem. The good news is it's easy to fix.

Flash Player 27 introduced a new audio output setting. This setting needs to be configured to use your headphones. Here's how:

1. Open Internet Explorer. Even if you generally use a different browser, you'll need to use Internet Explorer for this process.
2. Launch any Flash content in Internet Explorer, such as this sample Storyline course.
3. Right-click anywhere on the screen and choose Settings from the context menu that appears.
4. When the Adobe Flash Player Settings appear, click the audio output tab. It looks like a speaker icon.
5. Use the Audio Output drop-down list to select your output.
6. Close the Adobe Flash Player Settings window.
7. Close and reopen Storyline or Quizmaker, then make sure timeline audio is playing as expected.
