The UCF (WebEx Media File) is a file format used by Cisco WebEx. It stores information related to recorded meetings, such as audio, video, and other data that comprise a meeting. The UCF file is typically created when a meeting is recorded in the WebEx format.
File Format
UCF files are comprised of two main parts; the MDF and XML files. The MDF part contains compressed media elements in the Advanced Systems Format (ASF). Metadata is saved in an XML file with accompanying ".ind" and ".auf" files. Metadata contains information about the recording such as location, date, participants, comments, and other details. These files are packaged into the UCF archive for easy distribution and playback.
Compressed File
UCF files are compressed archives that reduce the size of the stored recordings. This allows users to send large streams and recordings over email or other messaging programs. The files stream media much more efficiently than sending un-compressed media files. Uncompressing them is accomplished by WebEx Network Recording Player, which automatically decompresses them when run.
Similar File Types
Some other file types similar to UCF are .WRF, .ARF, and .MPG. These files operate on the same basic principles for audio/video recording, streaming, and storing web conference meetings. They all have a strong link to WebEx products however and are often considered specialized formats of the program.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .UCF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .UCF extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .UCF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .UCF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .UCF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .UCF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .UCF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .UCF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .UCF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .UCF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
