Inserting a Flash video and the Bandwidth Monitor

I am new to Captivate, and I want to be sure I'm following
some practical guidelines for inserting Flash video in my Captivate
slides.
I know there are quite a few variables relating to practical
bandwidth usage--basically, we are creating elearning presenations
that will have "talking head" videos embedded within. These
presentations will be available for download via our LMS site, both
within the US and overseas.
I have utilized Captivate's Bandwidth Monitor to gauge the
bandwidth hit each video slide is responsible for. However, I don't
believe the numbers I'm getting back: because I've set each
embedded video to "Pause slide till end of video", all the slides
are reporting the same length in seconds, KB per sec and Video KB
numbers.
Can someone suggest a practical method for setting up the
videos such that the Bandwidth Monitor can interpret them
correctly? Can you also suggest a rule of thumb for maximum length
for each slide with an embedded video (320 X 240) in it?
Thanks in advance,
Carl

  • How do you play a Flash video and then close the player?

    I have a splash page that plays a .swf. At the end of the
    video the home.html page is opened. As/after the home page launches
    I want to play a Flash video and then have the player close.
    I am willing to trade wife, children or beagles for the info.

    Are these two separate browser windows? One for the Flash
    .swf and a different window for the home.html document? Is this
    correct:
    1. show .swf in one window,
    2. open new, second, window with home.html
    3. show second .swf in first window
    4. close first window when second .swf finishes
    If this is the scenario, then no, you can't reliably close
    the first window. You can use Javascript to close a browser window,
    but, if that window wasn't opened using Javascript, then it may not
    close gracefully, or in the case of IE, may display a prominent
    error message.

  • No sound on flash videos on the internet after suspend and hibernate

    I have this:
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
    Everytime I resume from suspend or hibernate with firefox open alongside with fully loaded flash videos, playing the videos doesn't produce any sound anymore.  I need to restart firefox in order to make it work again..:(
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for the help in advance

    I'm also having this problem.  Xfmedia plays audio just fine before and after suspend/resume, but pandora.com and hulu.com in firefox do not.  Also noticed that CPU usage skyrockets when trying to restart audio/video after resume in pandora/hulu.  In hulu, video restarts, but audio does not. 
    Interestingly, CPU usage also spikes if I restart audio in Xfmedia after resume, but the CPU hog is firefox not Xfmedia and Xfmedia audio plays just fine.  Have to close the hulu or pandora tab to get the CPU usage back to normal.  Wondering if it's just a bug in flash for linux.

  • When I want to play a video, it asks me to download the latest Adobe Flash player, and the iPad won't do that.

    When I want to play a video, it asks me to download the latest Adobe Flash player, and the iPad won't do that.

    The iPad doesn't and never will support the Flash program. You will need to download and install a different browser like the aforementioned Skyfire. Photon and Puffin are also mentioned as browsers that support Flash. Or see if the place you're accessing that video from has an app.

  • My flash player didnot support such video and the version is too low

    I have checked in your internet, it told me Flash Player is pre-installed with Internet Explorer in Windows 8. and Either Flash Player is disabled or ActiveX Filter is ON. But i really find  Flash Player is enabled or ActiveX Filter is Off. For flash play, it can play most of flash video, however, it shows my flash player didnot support such video and the version is too low. In fact, the my downloaded version is the laterest. how can i fix the problem? thanks.

  • There are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline and wont play video in the program monitor.

    After reconnecting some origianl files after a hard drive crashed, there are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline that wont play video in the program monitor. They do however play in the source monitor.

    Those stripes are most likely the missing media indicators, which means you've relinked to the wrong clips.

  • Help inserting a flash video into my web page

    Hello!
    I'd love some help inserting a flash video into my web page. My web page is hosted by Viviti, templated, and edited online. I can add html to it, and I have the html source for my flash video. I also have uploaded the flash file to the server. Since I am very html illiterate, though, I need some help rewriting the html script so it can be published. There are two problems- firstly, no 'headers' or 'body' allowed in the script- these are already a part of the template. Secondly, I don't know how to rewrite it to refer to the uploaded files. It's also imperative that the full screen mode functions. I've pasted the source code for the flash video here. Please help!!!
    Thanks!

    What you basically need to do is copy the sections of content from the code you show into the template (assuming the template already provides the <head> and <body> sections of the page.  So in the head section of what you show, take everything starting with...
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    all the way down thru...
    </script>
    , inclusive (in the head section only), and paste that into the head section of your template.
    Similarly, take everything that lies between the <body> ... </body> tags (exclusive of the body tags) and paste it into the body section of your template wherever you plan to display the Flash file.

  • Flash Video and 8.0.2 problems

    Hi. I recently installed 8.0.2 but now when I hit OK in the
    completed prompt box - Insert>Media>Flash Video - dreamweaver
    either crashes or it does insert the flash player but it doesn't
    work when previewing in IE 6.
    Has anybody else experienced this? In 8.0.1 everything worked
    fine - I am doing nothing different. I've checked the active
    content scripts are in the right location but still 8.0.2 is
    displaying nothing (the flash content) when viewed in a browser.
    Any help much appreciated,
    Mike

    That's incorrect. Do you see the video here in either of
    those browsers?

  • Insert Media Flash Video

    I'm having trouble viewing a flash video that I've inserted
    using: Insert, Media, Flash Video. I can view the video ok in IE7
    and Firefox when I preview the page from Dreamweaver, but not
    online.
    http://www.swail.com/Untitled-1.html
    (sample page with problem)
    I have the video file uploaded to here:

    I have the Scripts folder uploaded in the root dir on the

    I've done this successfully in the past with other web
    sites....what am I missing here?
    Any help is appreciated!

  • Insert Media Flash Video... pre-loader question

    Hello everybody
    I'm desperately looking for a solution regarding the
    following problem: I've inserted a rather long flv video (insert -
    media - flash video) into my site. Visitors with smaller bandwith
    have to wait up to 30" until the video starts playing. I either
    want to show them a screen saying: "video is going to be buffered -
    please wait" or to include an adaptive preloader that shows the %
    until the video will start playing. How can this be achieved?
    Thanks for all of your input, because this issue is very important
    to me and time is running for the project...

    Can you divide your long video into several small clips or
    chapters? Then
    just put all the clips into a common player like this one
    from Coffee Cup -
    and loop them together.

  • Flash Video and SWFObject

    Hi Guys
    I'm trying to insert a flash video file (FLV) that has the
    controls as a separate swf using SWFObject. The flash was created
    in Flash 8.
    I'm not sure of the actual code I need to get this to work
    though.
    The html file that should contain the flash is
    /Careers/index.html.
    These files are in the /Careers/flash/ folder:
    ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf
    complete_david_w_headshot_small_controls_over.swf
    complete_david_w_headshot.flv
    I have also tried inserting the Flash Video using Dreamweaver
    8 (Insert -> Media), however, there were two problems in IE.
    1. You still needed to activate the flash and
    2. When playing the video, it wouldn't play the last 2
    seconds. However, pausing and the playing again from that position
    does play the remainder.
    I also preferred the DW 8 Clear Controls Skin over the Flash
    8 one, so is it possible that I could attach this somehow to the
    FLV?
    I'd really appreciate some help.
    Thanks
    Matt

  • Flash Video on the Network

    Hello Flash Users:
    Does Flash Video have any negative impact on an
    organization's network?
    Can Flash Video cause bandwidth drain when uploaded to an
    on-site Web server?
    RS

    Of course - they are files just like anything else. Put a 5
    meg PDF on your intranet and the bandwidth drain would be exactly
    the same as a 5 meg flash video. Most companies have the capacity
    to handle it though.

  • Flash videos and menu boxes jump up and down, what would cause this?

    After installing Firefox 4, all flash videos and menu boxes jump up and down. I have removed and reinstalled the flash plug in to no avail. This does not affect the playback, just the border of the video or menu box. Other browsers do not do this. Just wondering why this happens?

    OK, solved the problem...
    I '''''DELETED''''' the file LOCALSTORE.RDF with FF closed. Restarted and everything was back to normal.

  • Built Flash Video and will NOT show in Hosted Environment

    Built Flash Video and will NOT show in Hosted Environment.
    The files generated work on development machine. I posted the same
    files in hosted environment and flash will not show. I first
    thought it was Vista 64 IE 7 so I switched to XP IE7 and same
    results. Still it is strange the falsh works locally. I am sure it
    is something simple that I am missing. Any help would be
    appreciated. Thank you.
    Stan

    Nickels55, I appreciate the response. Here are the
    interesting facts. I had my hosting provider apply the mime type
    and restart IIS. No flash video. I have Vista x64 Ultimate with I
    think IIS 7 (the default IIS that comes with the OS.) The flash
    video would not show in that environment until I applied the MIME
    and then it WORKED. Yeah! But I still don’t have it working
    on my web hosting provider with server Win2003. I thought it was
    the hosting provider but I posted on my work server Win 2003 and
    changed the MIME with a reset and could not get the video to work
    there either.
    I would like to try another angle here. Again I am using the
    wizard to encode and publish the flash video. Maybe I don’t
    have a settings correct. I can approach this a few ways.
    1.) I can send my video to someone to post on their Win2003
    server and see if they can get it going.
    2.) Someone send me a short 3 second video that they produced
    that they know it works on Win2003.
    3.) Any other ideas? Surely someone in this universe has used
    the flash wizard to encode a video and published to a Win2003
    server. :)
    I guess the other thing to note is when creating the flash
    video I chose no controls (play, stop, pause). I want the video to
    start when someone accesses the page for the first time.
    Thank you for the help everyone.

  • I am trying to import video and the audio doesn't upload with the video. Help.

    I am trying to import video and the audio doesn't upload with the video. Help.
    I upgraded to iMovie 11 because the previous version wouldn't read the type of video I was importing (VOB).  The video imports but not the audio, what do I do?

    What are you capturing from?  You may not hear the auido as it's captured but it will be there.  After it's captured can you see the audio waveforms? Do the audio meters move when you play the clip?  If so then go to "View" then "Audio Playback"  and set it to 'Built-in Output" if you're monitoring audio through the computer.
