Captivate, quiz and video issues

Ok so this post is for anyone like me ( a massive beginner) trying to use flv video's in a quiz evaluation situation for playback on local machine.
First of all if you've got lots of Big Videos probably forget the self contained situation and look at browser route. Get all your questions & video slides in and notice that whatever radio button is checked when you highlight the general quiz properties is the one it assumes is the right answer click shuffle or not and all that stuff then tell it what to do when it gets it right and then tell it what to do when it gets it wrong; like jump to watch that bit of video again ( I couldn't be arsed working out multi slide syncronising across slides and all that so I just exported the punishment / review flv bit again and made a seperate slide of it. Now what I found out is this captivate caper is not over happy with copy and paste. so when you import video I did it by importing it into the library first (It kept hanging, stopping, locking up when I inserted video the normal way after copying and pasting a previous video slide somewher else and replacing the flv) so get it in the library, drag it to a new slide, it asks you about streaming and progressive, do progressive and modify to accomodate timings, then the slide sort's its self out to suit the length of the flv (important if its too long or short or wrong or something then it hangs after its played... it won't return to quiz). The action on the slide should be on exit return to quiz. most of the other kak can be sorted either through quiz preferences or project skin editor... All that progress bar stuff is ok while your testing and that but then disable the lot at the end. who cares if the user knows how long they have got left.
Also, if you are trying to jump around from a nav slide at the start using buttons... well unless you have told quiz prefs the user doesn't have to do the quiz it might not work.
I've been on this captivate for 3 days, and its annoying as f**k but probably good, but if like me you just need a validation quick situation without scoring and data capture and all that then just get rid of all that scoring penalty caper... who cares what's what percentage they got thats for google big brother nosey data tw*ts and sad kippers. whats wrong with 'you passed go and get a sticker and a lollipop' slide at the end.
P.S. what a load of old w**k this e-learning shi*te is, I have got to get a better life. Does anyone care about this crap unless its some kind of mystical future telling algorithm,
I don't, if someone subjects me to a questionaire about 'How do I feel about Tuna welfare in the south pacific" or ' what do I consider the most important role of a fast food burger selling executive'... I'm already dead! F**k this I'm going to look at nudie women

Audio and video issue after Win 10 Upgrade - Split X2 laptop 64-bit

Any solution to the Audio and Video issues on Split X2 13" laptop after Windows 10 FREE Upgrade?? - Intel Core i5 processor- 4GB memory I'm sure others are have the same Audio/video problems: - there is Sound and video playback but the sound and video is repeated slowly forward....impossible to understand the audio. The video is clear but also being played in repeated frames as it moves slowly forward!- sounds coming out of the speakers ok - everything was working great on Windows 8.1 (before upgrading to Windows 10). there must be some kind of driver upgrade for IDT High Definition CODEC BEATS audio... is there a work-around until a real fix is provided?? Regards - VK

I have downloaded and installed the HP recommended IDT Audio Driver using the HP Assistant. The current installed IDT High Definition Audio CODEC driver is: STWRT64.sys 6.10.6498.0 The laptop was rebooted but the problem still the same.....Audio is garbeled and impossible to understand the words...video seems ok when playing Youtube videos. My Split 13 X2 product id is: E2S66AV BIOS F.27

Audio and Video issue with Windows 8.1 upgrade on Ideapad n585

I upgraded my Ideapad N585 to Windows 8.1 the other day, took forever, but it made it through. Unfortunately, I now get boot erors for the Dolby software, and the AMD Vision/Catalysyt Control Center. Neither of these programs are able to start, from startup or even manually. They just won't run. Sound seems to come out fine still, but I do have video issues.
First off, my computer doesn't seem to recognize a HDtv as a monitor through the HDMI port. I still get an image, but it's set to current screen resolution instead of 1080i. I tried using the detect button to force it to look for a second monitor (my TV), but it showed nothing connected, though at the time I was using two screens. Now my monitor's screen resolution seems to be a little higher than my TV's, but it doesn't fit the screen properly, and will sometimes put a black border around the desktop, not using the full screen. I have also noticed, that when plugged into the tv, if a background program like a screen saver starts (and I am one of the few people who still use them, I like BOINC, sue me), it will reset the screen resolution to what it requires. When the program exits, the screen resolution stays, and that becomes the new max screen resolution until I restart the computer. So far, it only does this through the tv, if I run the laptop monitor alone, it doesn't happen.
I did try updating the software with what's available through the support site, but nothing happened. I even went as far as to use the Windows 9x~XP standbys of completely uninstalling, manually removing everything from the system registry I could find relating to these two programs, and then finally reinstalling the software. Giving the audio and video a complete clean slate to work from, and got no positive results. I restart the computer, Dolby and Catalyst won't boot, and blind to HDtv. Problems as described above still apply.
Anybody else have this issue? Anybody got a fix?

have you found a solution to this?
My computer updated to 8.1 without my wanting it to, I have the same problems as you. I installed the video driver because the brightness was locked on what I had it. (the bar would move but did not change)
I searched for brightness and n585 and I was able to find a driver, now brightness works but HDMI still does not. When I plug in the TV both screens go black with all 4 options in the "project" screen.
*edit*
this worked for me i stumbled across this
I unplugged the power cable with the hdmi cable plugged in. Hit (windows key+p) scrolled to duplicate and it worked.I plugged in the power cord back in and it still worked.

Windows 8.1 Audio and Video issues

I recently updated Windows 8 to 8.1 on my 2012 MacBook Pro and it now appers that Headphone/Line In have stopped working.
This only occurs in Windows mode, when running in OS X Mavericks the issue does not occur so I am assuming that it is a driver related issue rather than hardware.
I also have an issue with dual monitor setup, if I attempt to change the resolution or go from Dual to Single then back again, it fails to locate the second monitor again. Once again, this all worked with no issue before the 8.1 update and no issue occurs while running OS X.
Has anyone else experienced these issues and/or know how to resolve them?
I have gone through device manager and it indicates that all drivers are up to date.

i too have the same issue. I did a fresh Bootcamp install of Windows 8.1 64-bit on my mid 2011 iMac and my built in audio and headphones have stopped working on the Windows side. OSX Maveriks is ok.
i also went to the device manager and all of my audio drivers are up to date...still no sound.
i have uninstalled and reinstalled all audio drivers, disabled then enabled them several times...still no sound.
i have unistalled the graphics driver (i read somewhere else that there was an issue with it)...but still no sound.
can someone help us out?
NOTE: i have a usb audio dongle that works on windows. but it only controls my headphones. when i plug in the headphones into the built in audio jack on the iMac it doesnt work.

Podcasts and Video Issues With version 7.01.8

I had 7.0 but removed it and went back to version 6.04. When version 7.01.8 came out I went ahead and downloaded it and my first two songs I played started skipping again. The playback for my downloaded videos and podcasts still have the same problems in this version and 7.0 but not 6.04. The music is not in sync with any video and the music has too much static and erratic breaks. There is a raspy sound and distinct irregular sounds. My music library is playing fine now, though it started as if the problems weren't fix going from 7.0 to 7.01.8 but so far so good. I wish Apple would fix the video and podcast playback problems. I didn't have any problems with version 6.04 and I'm running a Dell Dimension 8200 with GeForce4 TI 4600 AGP Graphics Card. Anyone else have problems with podcast and videos with the this update?

have you worked through the possibilities from this document, Jerry?

Captivate 6 and IE issues

Hello Everyone,
I am using a PC, Win 7 OS, 64 bit, 3.2 GHz with 24 GB RAM.
Using Captivate 6, I developed an overview with voice-over: project is 27 MB.
The project was working fine and publishing. I attempted to place one of our eLearning swf intros onto the first slide (5 MB), and the file started displaying issues. First, the background of slide 3 would display parts of itself on slide 5. I deleted the .swf opening, replaced it with a static png and the backgrounds cleared up.
When I work in Captivate, the slides function as they should. However, when I publish the file (SWF player 9, 10, 10.2 and 11), instead of playing each slide, it will move to a new slide, show the background and play the audio. However, the playbar displays the "play" triangle and none of the interactions ( or text) that are timed will play. You then have to click the play button 3 or 4 times for the slide to show the textboxes/ highlightboxes and click boxes.
This is the same in IE and Firefox.
I tried removing the timing issue by having all the items load with the slide. They will all load, but you cannot move forward unless you select the play button 3 times.
I have experienced a few weird things with Captivate 4, 5, and now 6; but this has me stumped.
Any thoughts?
Mike

We are having some of the same issues with Captivate 6.
Our files are not large, 20 to 40 mb average.
We almost never use transitions - actually make that never.
These have no video, no external swf files.
Randomly... the published files and the Preview in web browser, fail to play audio files.
It is most often the first slide with audio, but happens randomly throughout the file.
To fix, I move the audio file a couple of 10ths of sec one way or the other and the slide publishes fine the next time, but some other slide(s) then picks up the problem.
Occasionally there will be graphics or parts of graphics from a previous slide show up on later slides (no, they are not set to "rest of project") and also slides that "red screen".
When graphics "ghost" and "red screen" happens the only way to fix those slides is to re-create the them deleting the old one (corrupted slide?). I believe "red screen" was a memory problem? our computers meet the minimum requirements for running Captivate 6.
What is really weird is that these problems have been getting worse, every week we are having more and more problems.
2 computers running 64bit and 3 running 32 bit.
We have started clearing cache several times a day... restarting the program before and after the cache delete, and rebooting the computers. I have now spent the last 10 hours or so trying to get one file to publish without errors.
Project Info....48 slides, Time 6 mins 27.1 secs (11613 frames) Resolution: 800 x 600 with 0 hidden slides, cptx size 26,223 KB, published swf size 10,258 KB. All of our files are published twice, once with and once without SCORM 1.2 reporting.
This project had some sides copied into it from a file that was upgraded from 5.5 to 6. All of our templates were originally created in 5.5 and converted to 6.
We are getting less and less done every day. In the last two days our productivity has ground to halt.
Please help, I really don't know what to do at this stage. If the files would revert, I would go back to 5.5 just to get some projects delivered.

Captivate 7 and Audio Issues

Hi, I have been having with audio files in Captivate 7 when changing audio files for a specific slide. If I use the F6 functionality, sometimes the new audio file will be attached, sometimes it won't, and sometimes I will hear both audio files.
If I go into the library and remove all the audio files without first removing from the individual slides, sometimes the audio file will play on the slide when published. I cannot remove the audio file because I can see it in the library or on the film strip.
If I first remove the audio files from the slide, then remove the audio file from the library the file is definitely removed from the project.
Is this a bug in Captivate 7? Is there another way to ensure that the audio files have been updated without jumping through hoops. I've had a few projects I've had to recreate because of the audio issues.
thanks,

Welcome, Bob,
Each powerpoint slide will be converted in a mini video. You will have to make a parallel PPT, where you change the click animations to timed animations if you want the user in the CP-file to have to click only once.
Another approach would be to use Adobe Presenter, and the user could then click to advance on each animation.

Why do Captivate projects have video issues when viewed on an iPad?

I poste dthis question months ago, and didn't get much in the way of a response, so I am trying again...
I am publishing projects to be viewed on both PC and iPad (.swf and HTML5). The PC version works fine on a number of different browsers.
The iPad version does not play correctly. I have tried the default Safari browser, as well as Coast, Mercury, and Chrome.
Slides that are audio over screen captures do not play the audio.
Slides that are Video play and sound fine.
Slides that are audio dropped onto the slide play fine.
My Captivate is version 6.0.1.240.
My iPad is running iOS 7.1 (11D167)
Also, when in a project, and I try to "Edit Video Demo", Captivate locks up, and must be closed by the Windows Task Manager. IS THIS RELATED???
Any thoughts?
Thom T.

I am having the same issue with Captivate 8. I have created a project, imported mp4 movies, save output as HTML.
All works fine on a desktop or laptop.
But will not play videos through a browser on an IPAD. I understood that videos and captivate content rendered in HTML5 would play on an IPAD.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help suggestion please?
Thanks
Ian

Video calls and videos issue

after the 5.1 update, i noticed that videos don't rotate when the phone is held horizontally. also i made a video call and when i rotated the phone the screen became unresponsive and kept going on and off unless when i held the phone in a certain angle which i cant figure out, i dont know if this issue has been there the whole time because the first video call i made on the phone (via skype) was after the update. also when i unlock the screen sometimes the colors fade and become lighter, and the screen itself freezes for 2 seconds.

I see, well if it's due to the update itself you can try to reinstall the 5.1 update with Sony PC Companion and see if the fixes the issue.

DROP SHADOWS AND VIDEO ISSUES

I am using Windows7 and ID CS5. I have discovered that having more than one drop shadow causes ID to redraw the entire page after every action. Move a text box a fraction of an inch and it redraws everything. This usually takes between 15-20 seconds to do. Has anyone else had this problem? I have 24 gigs of ram and dual video cards @ 1gb memory each and not sure why the drop shadows would cause this type of problem. Other than doing the layout and then adding the drop shadows at the end, any other insight would be appreciated.

You can check these settings:-
1) Turn off the preflight from the Windows-->Output-->Preflight
2) Change the Live screen drawing to "Never" under Edit-->Preferences-->Interface
3) Change the Display performance to "Typical" if it is set to "High Quality" , under View-->Display Performance

[SOLVED] sound and video issues with firefox

I decided to change my browser due to some problems with the last chromium update (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=182218).
I'm using the last version of firefox but I can't watch any videos in this browser. I'm having two main problems:
· There is no sound at all in the videos played. But there is sound if I play something with Clementine or mplayer
· The videos stop after a few seconds automatically. The videos keep loading, but they are not played anymore.
This is a weird thing. I can't use a browser! Please some help!
PS: I change the player on youtube to HTML5 and it's working now

Hello,
While the whiteboard itself doesn't have an upload command,
the FilePublisher can upload images into the Cocomo room. From
there, your clients can download the image and display it (say,
through an image component). The SharedWhiteboard can have its
backgroundAlpha set to 0 - try myWB.setStyle("backgroundAlpha", 0).
As far as your audio is concerned, it seems as though you're
compiling against the FP10 cocomo.swc, but aren't requiring player
10 in your Flex project (check Project Properties->Flex
Compiler). I'd either use the FP9 swc, or require 10.0.0 or higher
in the project.
hope that helps

Odd sound and video issue comes and goes.

Please dont give me the "open up a new user account" solution, as to that is a cop out to a real solution.... THANK YOU... I see it too much here, and honestly it just isn't a answer. I actually found weird solutions to this issue, but I want to discuss this all here and see if anyone else experiences this or has any input to this WEIRD thing.
So, I have SEVERAL Macs, laptops, power macs, etc...been a 10 year Mac user, with hardly any problems because I am Mac savvy (usually) - I own a professional Audio recording studio, so know ALOT about sound, etc... and I only experience this on this laptop, my PowerBook 17inch Alluminum (the higher resolution one that has pad scrolling)...
Anyway, issue is this: Sound works fine 98% of the time. VERY seldomly for absolutely no reason and no change to any settings the sound will stop working on ANY movie player (Quicktime, Real Player, MPlayer, etc..) PLUS nit work on the net either. BUT all interface computer sounds will work fine (volume button changing sound, trash, etc...) and iTunes works fine, music related players will work, actually quicktime will actually play music, just not the sound WITH a movie/clip, whatever... - ALONG with the fact that IF it is a Quicktime, or Real Player movie/clip I am watching and NOT getting sound to, it ALSO only plays the movie for like 10 seconds then the screen stops, but the timeline marker still moves. I can then pause and start the movie/clip and it will then pick back up, again though for only 10 seconds....
WEIRD !!!
Solutions I have come up with but find weird, yet don't ALWAYS work...
#1 - Launch all my players one by one, and then quit them. Then restart, then everything works fine. But seldomly works.
#2 - Drain my battery all the way dead, shut off my computer, charge it until full, then UNPLUG from charger and turn computer on.... everything works fine then... Solves issue more often. (I notice this issue seems to happen alot when some odd charging antics of mine happen, like half charging, or leaving plugged in for days at a time on accident, or using leaving plugged in for to many days at a time)...
#3 - Go to "Utilities", "Audio/Midi", and make sure sample rates are at 44.1, and if are just rechange to 44.1 anyway, then close. Works the most....
As you can see this is not a user issue. OF COARSE if I start up a new user account it would work fine, but a week later or whatever it would happen on ANY USER. So this is some odd bug, or issue with something.
Anyone else got anything to say about this ? Or maybe have a permanent solution to it ?
Thanks,

Got an answer and a break-through here on this subject/issue, so I thought I would just keep this topic updated. Even though no one seems to be replying.
As I also stated this in the "No Sound On Net" topic by Cassafrass that is highly related to this topic I have found that my 3rd solution stated in my original post is absolutely the most gauranteed solution 100% of the time. And now as I have waited for this to happen 2 times since then and fixed it both times I have found this to be true. As I went to the "Audio" tab in the Audio/Midi Utility I did in fact BOTH times now see that somehow the audio input and output were set to 96k !! I did not do this, and I am doing nothing to make it happen... WEIRD... But yet like I said, I just switched them both back to 44.1k and everything instantly began working fine and as usual.
So as this is obviously NOT a permanent fix. It does show though that it IS where the problem is, and it is a solution. Now to only find out what is making it switch itself to 96k sometimes.
Also it does make sense too, because the net and certain players just can not play output at 96k, and even if they can won't do so if the source of audio is not at 96k. And since most to all audio out there is at 44.1k (CD quality) this all makes perfect sense.
Oddly though, as I have been running tests, I was thinking I was doing something that makes this happen (since very few people seem to have this problem) -- but these last two times it happened, I literally have done NOTHING but very basic computer using. I wasn't doing my extensive professional stuff as I usually do. So its really odd.
It is possible from my previous activities that I have corrupted the preference file that is linked to the Audio/Midi utility setting.... and that is my next stage of trouble shooting in which I will report back with my findings... (as stated in the other topic as well).
PLEASE if anyone else has any input or anything to say on this matter, please feel free to do so.

IPhone 4 software update and Video issues.

I have the most current software update done on my iPhone 4. Since I have done this I have come to realize that all of the videos that I have taken since the update will show a blank screen when I try to send them in any form email, text, facebook. What can I do to solve this issue? Anyone?

READ the instructions in the link from which you posted.
It clearly states how to upgrade directly from the device (if running iOS5 or higher) or how to upgrade from iTunes on the computer if running iOS 4.
Also, update iTunes on your computer, iOS6 requires iTunes version 10.6 or higher.
