Effect2: I seem to have missed that the last entry in the software list first required conversion to WMV using the official tool, i.e. it could not actually read this format

'''Webex Recording Format''' ('''WRF''') is a proprietary video container format used to store recordings created by Webex, a video conferencing program used mainly in business environments. It appears, based on mentions of a specific codec not "being accepted" by a conversion program<ref name="h264">https://help.webex.com/en-us/WBX000026388/WRF2WMV-Converter → "Note"</ref>, to be a container format; the fact that it can use the [[H.264]] codec<ref name="h264" /> suggests that it may internally use other widely-used formats, as well. It was succeeded by [[Advanced Recording Format]].

* [https://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/wrf-converter.html Video Converter Factory]: Probably malware, with a very dubious claim to support the codec. Did nothing but crash at startup when tested.
