Generate Podcasts People Can Subscribe To On iTunes From MP4 Files That Were Originally WebEx ARF/WRF WebCasts

This is the last in a series of three articles written to describe how to export a WebEx webcast to ARF/WRF format, convert to WMV format, then convert to MP4 format, and finally generating a podcast to be shared on iTunes. This is a great way to share your WebEx webcast content with others via a podcast subscription. Follow the directions below to first sign up for a PodBean.com account to publish your MP4 as a podcast and then submit that podcast to iTunes to be included in the iTunes Store Podcast section under whatever category you specify.

Convert .WMV Files Made From .WRF/.ARF WebEx Presentations To MP4 To Sync To iTunes

We previously published an article on how to convert .WRF and .ARF files generated from WebEx presentations to .WMV format to be viewed without requiring the WebEx Player. Since many people have iPhone’s, iPod Touch’s, and use Mac’s running OSX it makes sense to follow up on that article and show how to take the .WMV files to .MP4 format so it can be synced to your iPhone or iPod Touch or simply played in QuickTime on your Macintosh computer. Follow the directions below to convert the WMV file, which was generated from a WRF/ARF file in this article, to MP4 format.

How To Convert .WRF Files To .WMV, AVI, MP4, XVID, or MPEG

Someone sent me a WebEx webcast they wanted me to view this afternoon. The file had a .WRF file ending which stands for WebEx Recording Format which is one of the two file formats that WebEx webcasts are saved as. The other format that WebEx files are saved as is the ARF or WebEx Advanced Recording Format. Typically you could simply download the WebEx Player available by clicking here however you may want to convert this video, which requires the WebEx Recording Editor, to provide to others in a format they can view without having to install an application. It took me awhile to figure out how to convert this file properly since I only seemed to be able to find the older WebEx Editor versions. I finally signed up for a trial account and was able to download version 3 of the WebEx Recording Editor which allowed me to convert to WMV format and from that I was able to convert to any other video format including AVI, MP4, XVID, and MPEG. Follow the directions below to first convert the .WRF to .WMV and then the second set of directions if you want to convert to another video format.
