Hi,

In my application (which is **C#** based) I’m extracting short clips (10 to 15 seconds long) from a LIVE stream. Which I was able to do by using an example available [here](https://www.wowza.com/docs/ndvr-query-examples). Now I’m trying to move the extracted file from the Wowza directory to my custom directory (directory structure is based upon Date/TimeOfDay/ApplicationName/CameraName).

Is there a way to move clips to custom directory (once they have been extracted) by using Wowza REST API ?

OR

Is there a way I can tell Wowza to extract individual clips to specific folders ? (since I want the clips to be saved in directory based upon above requirements)

I tried to look into **dvrConverterDefaultFileDestination** param available for _ **PUT /v2/servers/{serverName}/vhosts/{vhostName}/applications/{appName}/instances/{instanceName}/dvrstores/actions/{action}** _ call but was unable to get it going.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.
