Re: How to capture Elluminate live


i got the solution for offline playing of their recorded files.

Downloading:
  1. download play.jnlp file of specified recording from site.
  2. open it with notepad and near the end of file there will be a url to actual vcr file eg:
    Code:
    https://sas.elluminate.com/site/external/download/recording?uid=FD653ED7160FC6182671CC2C3EBFB406
  3. save the vcr file.

Playing these vcr files offline was little tricky. these are not even actually video files. open it with hex editor and you will find PNG or JFIF headers scattered throughout the vcr file. however i have put together a little php script and a batch file alongwith their player which will help you to play these files. you can even create file association for .vcr file so that you can play them by just double clicking instead of dragging dropping on batch file.

Playing:
  1. download and install php from the following link. it is required to run the php script.
    Code:
    http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-5.3.6-Win32-VC9-x86.msi
  2. download my player package from here:
    The latest version
    Code:
    http://www.mediafire.com/file/2w5d7cz1a1d2j45/KSV%20-%20Elluminate%20Player.zip
    Code:
    http://www.mediafire.com/file/as0v0ed8wrb0awn/KSV%20-%20Elluminate%20Player.zip
    Older version
    Code:
    http://www.mediafire.com/file/78m25xg61ko4t8f/KSV%20-%20Elluminate%20Player.zip
  3. drag drop vcr file on "KSV - Elluminate Player.bat" to play
    OR
  4. create file association for .vcr file and select my batch file as program to open with.
  5. package also contains Demo.vcr file to test the player. if there is any problem in playing try clearing your java cache. you can use the following command to clear it or use CCleaner.
    Code:
    javaws -uninstall

Bonus:
these files also contain content distributed in lecture including handouts, chat logs, application sharing screens etc.

Enjoy

PS: Audio quality of their recordings is pretty low.
