I am using the following module to extract dvr content to an mp4 file:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-extract-mp4-formatted-files-from-dvr-streams-using-wowza-streaming-engine-java-api](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-extract-mp4-formatted-files-from-dvr-streams-using-wowza-streaming-engine-java-api)

Is there a way to change the output file name? I see there are two methods provided DvrConverterControlBase.setFilename() and DvrConverterControlBase.addOutputFilename() , but neither are changing the filename to my requested string.

Hi Lloyd,

You will need to use the following method to change the output filename for your dvrConverter.

```auto
dvrStore.setOutputFilename("clipExtract.mp4");

```
