Basically it is this:
db.define_table('recording',
Field('time_stamp', 'bigint', required=
True,
comment='Recording creation time in milliseconds.'),
Field('system_id', 'reference system', required=
True,
comment='Reference to recording system.'),
Field('video', 'upload', required=
True,
uploadfolder=os.path.join(request.folder,'upload/videos'),
uploadseparate=True, length=256,
comment='Filename for the uploaded file.'),
Field('description', 'string', length=256,
comment='Optional description for recordings.'),
format=format_recording
)
