Editing a recording to make 2 versions (longer and shorter for a special topic)

Question

I recorded a multi-topic session as a single 2 hour recording. I was able to edit out the "lag" portions of the session so I have a nice final presentation of the various speakers/ topics. However, I want to also produce a 2nd recording of just the last speaker/ topic, without destroying the longer version. I could edit out the first hour (first 3 speakers) and save that, but then that would destroy the longer version.

Is there a way to duplicate the recording, so that I can preserve the full version, but then edit the duplicated recording to edit it down for just the last speaker/ topic? I can't find a way to do this within Adobe Connect editing. Do I have to export the file to Flash (FLV) or MP4 and then try to find a way to edit that file down to get just the last topic? Any ideas?

The best solution would be to pull the recording files down from the server and then re-upload them, so you have two version of the recording, with different URLs. Then you can edit each one separate from the other.

To do this add /output/NAME.zip?download=zip to the URL for your recording. Name the zip file whatever you want. You will download a zip file. Don't extract or mess with the zip file, just upload it back to the Connect server in the desired location in the Content library. You can even give it a custom URL!

Then you will have two versions of the recording on the server that you can do with as you please.
