Webcam records as WMV Jan 07, 2014 By jeremy pearce Considering all the tutorials online suggest .mp4 is the preferred video format, why does it record as a .wmv when I record a video from my webcam? Any way to change it to .mp4? Cheers

There isn't an option to change the publish quality settings within Replay, but you can see more here about how Storyline handles video compression during publish. There is a method described here by Mike Enders on how to replace the video after publishing with the original to not have any changes to the quality of the video.
