Configure recording settings, file size and
type
Recordings are saved as MP4 files by default. Each channel and recorder also has a file size limit set to 500 MB
and the maximum file length set to 30 minutes by default.
When a recording reaches the file length of 30 minutes or 500 MB (whichever comes first), the system closes
the current recording file and immediately opens a new one. No recorded data is lost.
Tip
: If you don’t know what size to select, do some test recordings to get an idea of the file
sizes you can expect. If you want to guarantee the recording lasts to a given time limit,
select a file size that is far larger than you saw in your tests.
Important considerations
l
You cannot change the recording settings, file size, and type for channels used with Kaltura events.
l
The file recording type for a channel you are controlling and recording using Epiphan Cloud must be set
to MP4 and the maximum file size supported is 500 MB.
