Abstract:
1. A method for recording videoconference data without impacting performance of a host videoconference server, comprising: a) intercepting a packet associated with the host videoconference server; b) analyzing the packet; c) determining if the packet is related to a videoconference session associated with the host videoconference server by accessing a contributing source (CSRC) field of the packet, interpreting data within the CSRC field associated with a destination host, and matching the interpreted data to data identifying the host videoconference server; if the packet is related to the video conference session, then the method includes, d) determining a videoconference stream corresponding to the packet; e) storing the packet in a videoconference audio stream file associated with the videoconference stream when the packet is an audio packet and storing the packet in a videoconference video stream file associated with the videoconference stream when the packet is a video packet, wherein packets in a videoconference audio or video stream file have a same contributing source; f) repeating a)-e) for additional packets of the videoconference session; (g) generating a single videoconference stream from packets in the files associated with the videoconference stream for all contributing sources to the videoconference stream; and (h) recording the single videoconference stream onto a single videoconference file in a storage medium.
