If a video participant attends, all audio and video recordings are recorded on the Application Server
in a preliminary MP4 format, which is then replicated to the Web Server for proper file conversions.
The replicated MP4 file is used to create the WAV file, which is then used to create the MP3 and
WMA files. The original MP4 file is converted to H.264(avc1)/AAC/mp4a) MP4 for playback.

sharing, the actual size of the recording depends on the screen sharing resolution, how often the screen
changes, and how well the data compresses.
