On my side ffmpeg works fine with the cameraVoip__.xml files.
I wrote this Python script to export an Adobe Connect recording as a video (code repo: https://github.com/Franck-Dernoncourt/adobe-connect-video-downloader):
'''
Requirements:
- python 2.7 or 3
- wget, unzip, and ffmpeg accessible from command line.
Examples:
python connect2vid_v2.py https://my.adobeconnect.com/pqc06mcawjgn/ --output_filename=" Understanding how the Network impacts your service"
The script assumes that the .zip files contains screenshare__.flv files, which contain the screen share.
Please email Franck Dernoncourt <[email protected]> if you improve this code.

ffmpegcan do anything with them. – Derinna.flvfiles. Moreover, it would be interesting to have every file reassembled automatically. I suspect that audio files may swap at different times than video files and this may be described in one of the.xmlfiles that might act as a main. There are many adobe connect conferences of 2 to 3 hours each that I would like to process that way (more than 20), so this would be a tedious process to reassemble everything manually... Yet I hope someone went through that process already and is willing to help many that would like to save those videos. – Kneepanffmpegcould not properly decode anything except the nellymoser audio format in thecamera*files. You may need to find another solution. Perhaps the "video" is actually vector Flash stuff? – Derinna
