Webex Recording Format

Webex Recording Format (WRF) is a proprietary video container format used to store recordings created by Webex, a video conferencing program used mainly in business environments. It appears, based on mentions of a specific codec not "being accepted" by a conversion program, to be a container format; the fact that it can use the H.264 codec suggests that it may internally use other widely-used formats, as well. It was succeeded by Advanced Recording Format.

Sample Files

 * SharingApp_ContactOperation.wrf (Produced garbage output when tested with the 2004 version of the player; unclear where the flaw is.)

Software

 * Webex Player
 * webexplayer_intel.dmg: for OS X
 * Version from 2004
 * WRF2WMV: Convert to WMV
 * Video Converter Factory: Probably malware, with a very dubious claim to support the codec. Did nothing but crash at startup when tested.
