I have been doing weekly recordings with a group I host.  I hit record, do my talk, then end recording.  This time it didn't do the buffering the final normally does.  Instead I go to where I find the file and it looks different then it normally would.  It says Double_click_to_convert.  
I click on it it bring it to a windows media player extension, which its never done before.  It won't play.  Any help is appreciated.

Hey @Headward33, if locally recorded, you can find that recording in your Zoom desktop client, under 'meetings' 👉 'recorded' and you will see the locally recorded videos from there. You can also go to zoom.us/recording to see all cloud recordings if available or the path for local recordings.

 

Hope this helps!

I have the same issue. I can find the recording, it won't open and it also asks to convert.
