Abstract
In this article we present the design and implementation of a videoconferencing session recorder multimedia system. Our system is a videoconferencing tool that has the capability of recording live multimedia collaborative/conferencing sessions. The main distinction between our architecture and other ones is that unlike other recording systems, which require the original application for the playback, our system generates Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) compliant documents which can be played back in any SMIL-compliant player.
