NCast Presentation Recorder Reference Manual
5.10.2. Set Recording Filename
The default archived filename is of the form

which represents the start time of the recording through use of the fields:

For example, if a Presentation Recorder user wishes to create a custom filename for the “Accounting 101”
series of lectures, the following filename formatting string might be used:
Acct101-%Y-%m-%d
This will create filenames of the form:
Acct101-2007-11-19.mp4
Acct101-2007-11-21.mp4
Acct101-2007-11-23.mp4
…
Using this formatting notation, the default value of the format string for standard archive filenames is this:
