How can I add an mp4 to a DITA topic?

Hello,
I'm new to structured FrameMaker and to DITA. I'm using TCS5.
I'm having to compile a set of training materials that include video tutorials generated out of Captivate. I'm thinking I might have a ditamap of the text tutorial with all its concepts and tasks as topics, and then a separate topic at the end with the video, to which the others could link. I'd prefer to use the mp4 format rather than the outdated swf.
I've found how to do this by saving the ditamap as a Frame book with composite fm files. Of course I can just import the mp4 into the corresponding fm file. But this import is then not reflected or present in the pure dita topic and that makes exchangeability and re-use problematic. Ideally I would like to be able to do everything in pure dita without having to pass through fm files, much harder to maintain.
I've seen there is an "object" element in DITA which can be used to include video streaming, but I can't for the life of me find intelligible instructions on how to use it. The mp4 files would be in a folder of a local directory, or eventually in a sub-folder of our company web-site host.
Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi Archaeopteryx...
You can add the DITA tagging to your topic, and it *may* generate properly through the DITA-OT, but it's not going to result in an embedded movie in the generated FM files when published through FrameMaker. In theory, someone could write a script to make this work .. but it's not currently set up to work properly in FM-generated output.
Here's a discussion of adding this tagging to a DITA topic on the Yahoo dita-users list ..

    Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type.  The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
    "H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
    http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
    (earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
    So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes).  If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

    My problem is i want to build a new column for the number so each number i'm adding will be next on the left to the belong item string. And not under it like now.
    1. Maybe i need to use another control and not listBox ?

    If you want columns, you should consider a

  • How can i add filename on a document in pages 5.1 ?

    I am allways using a template to make documents, that I save under different names. How can I add the (changed) filename in the footer of a saved document ?
    It is important to me to print the filename on document, to find and edit it on my mac later.
    In MS Word it is easy to automaticaly add filenames, path, author and other filedata to the document. I can't find how to do that automatically in Pages templates.
    I saw earlyer answers to this question on this community, but they don't work as I expect, or only on earlier versions of pages.....  I trust there is an easy way to do this.
    Can someone help me please ?

    That function, present in "Pages 09" (i.e. Pages 4.3) , was not included in Pages 5.0-5.1.  (Nor were nearly 100 other such features, from mail merge and bookmarks to non-contiguous text selection, 2-up page viewing and the ability to set alternating left/right margins, headers & footers.Version 5.1 is also notably buggy. One work around, or partial work around, is to click the file name at the top of the window document. You can then select the filename, copy it  and paste it whereever you like. As far as I can see, however, there is no way to include the path: all you get is the filename and extension.

  • Pls help - How can I add a typekit font to muse?

    As Muse doesn't come with all typekit fonts already included in the dropdown list of webfonts, I'd like to know how I can add a typekit font to the dropdown menu so I can use it for my website. I have Adobe creative cloud membership.
    I've searched the whole of the web and can't find anything about this at all - only about adding one of the existing muse typekit fonts which I already know how to do.
    Why doesn't Adobe include all typekit fonts with Muse when you're already a full creative cloud subscriber?

    Done!

  • How can i add  fields to a cube which is in production support

    hi,
       how can i add fiels to a cube which is in production support.

    Hi Maruthi
    You need to add new fields to cube in Development system and then transport it to production after testing.
    Edit cube in RSA1. Add the new infoobjects from right hand directory to left hand pane and assign these new infoobjects to suitable dimensions. Save and activate the infocube. Now go to change update rules for this infocube and do proper mapping of these infoobjects.
    Save & activate the update rules.
    RSA1-> Transport connection-> select cube, update rules and related objects and create transport request.
    After testing is done, give the transport request number to your Basis person and he will do the transports for you.
    Regards

  • How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of a 9i Report

    How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of an Oracle 9i Report whose source is in a higher group?
    I want to change an Oracle 9i report. The report has no header or trailer but only a body. The body has the parent frame fields & a repeating frame with four fields, A, B, C & D. They all seem to be in one group. I want to add another field E to the repeating frame whose source is from the 'header'.
    I added the field & created a boiler plate & then added the new field, E to the original group A, B, C & D. In the Property Inspector for the field, I pointed the source to the source column in the main query. However, when I run the report, I receive the error "Invalid body size". Some notes on Metalink indicate that this could be due to margins being out of the printable area.
    Moreover, after making the changes & after having unsuccessfully run the report, when I try to open the Page Layout for the report, I get no details.
