Problems including .avi content

Hi
I am using RoboHelp HTML 7. My output is Microsoft HTML Help. I am trying to include video files in the Help but am having problems when the compiled .chm is run on a machine other than the development machine. It seems that it cannot find the .avi file.
I am using the Insert| Multimedia Demo method of linking the the .avi file to the topic. I am copying the .avi files into the same folder as the .chm file, but this doesn't seem to help.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Chris

Is the file included in baggage? I don't use avi content but suspect that is a requirement.

  • Document Creation error - "We're sorry. We can't open document name because we found a problem with its contents"

    Morning Friends,
    I have created a SharePoint 2010 "Site Workflow" that is designed to take information from a form and create a Word doc with the gathered information and store this Word doc in a document library.
    I am using Sharepoint 2013 with Office 2013 
    I understand there are a lot of steps (19) outlined below and I can provide more information as needed but the bottom line is this, workflow successfully takes info from an initiation form, uses the info to create a Word doc. Places this Word doc in a library.
    When attempting to open / edit doc, receive error
    "We're sorry. We can't open <document name> because we found a problem with its contents"
    Details - No error detail available.
    Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. 
    Very high level view of what I have done:
    1 - Created content type called "Letters"
    2 - Added site columns " First Name" and "Last Name"
    3 -  Created and saved to my desktop a very basic Word document (Letter.docx) that says "Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX"
    4 - In the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I uploaded this "Letter.docx" file as the new document template.
    5 - Created a new document library called "Letters"
    6 - In Library Settings - Advanced Settings, clicked "Yes" to enable the management of content types.
    7 - Then I clicked "Add from existing content types" and added the "Letters" content type
    8 - Back in the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I selected "Edit Template" and replaced the first XXXX with the Quick Part "First Name" and the second XXXX with the Quick part "Last Name"
    9 - Created a new 2010 Site workflow called "Create a Letter"
    10 - To the workflow I added the action "Create List Item"
    11 - Configured the action to create Content Type ID "Letters" in the document library "Letter" 
    12 - For the "Path and Name" I gave it a basic name of "Letter to"
    13 - The next step was to create the Initiation Form Parameters and added to form entries "First Name" and "Last Name"
    14 - I then linked the initiation form fields to the data source "Workflow Variables and Parameters" to their respective Field from Source parameters
    15 - Went back to the "Path and Name" and modified the basic name of "Letter to" to include the first and last name parameters.
    16 - Saved - published and ran the work flow.
    17 - As expected, Initiation Form prompts for First and Last Name. ("John Doe") Then click "start
    18 - Go to document library "Letters" and see a new Word document created titles "Letter to John Doe" 
    19 - Go to open / edit the Word document and receive the following error
    thoughts? Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated. 

    See this MS support article for SP2010 workflows and generating Word docs:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2889634/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
    "This behavior is by design. The Create
    List Item action in the SharePoint
    2010 Workflow platform can't convert Word content type file templates to the correct .docx format."
    I've had success in using SP 2013, Word 2013 (saving a .docx as the template instead of .dotx for the document library content type), and an SP 2010 workflow using SP Designer 2013.

  • Spry accordion widget - SSI (server side include) as content in the panel

    After having inserted the following command <!--# include file = "content2.asp" -> in the accordion Panel Content I get an error in Dreamweaver - every time I open the file. See the error in the attached picture.
    Once all files are uploaded to the server it works apparently without problems or script errors.
    Is there anyone who can help me to use SSI "server side include" as content in accordion panels?

    Thanks for your reply.
    The fault lay in the SSI file. This file contained these tag:
    </ html>
    And of course the tag </ html> generate an error if the tag is inserted in the content of the accordion panel via ssi file.

  • Include Server Content in Test object

    We are currently including server content in Learning objects, which works very well. It is an HTML file which runs a simulation.
    I would like to know what is the best way to include this as a test. I would like to create a test, which has the HTML simulation, and test questions from the question bank. Is this possible? and if not, what is the work-around?
    Regards,
    Bernard

    Hi Bernard
    No, what I meant by grouping the learning objects together was having a structure for them under the content folder.
    When you define online learning material in OLM, you define a learning object in a content folder. These learning objects simply point to where the online material is executed from. The folders allow a hierarchical structure, so you can create one object as a 'parent' and then place other objects as 'children' beneath it.
    If you create an offering using the 'parent' learning object, then the 'child' learning objects will all be executed in the sequence they are defined under the 'parent'. This allows you to have content A (an online demo) followed by a test and then maybe followed by another online module and test etc. The learner is effectively taking the 'parent' learning object and therefore the class will not be recorded as completed until all the subordinate learning objects have been completed.
    I hope that clarifies the idea and that it will help you solve your problem.
    Regards
    Tim

  • Includes or Content Holders?

    With the new liquid rendering engine we can do includes. For example I can do this following:  {%include"/_System/includes/html.tpl"%}. I could also use the following code: {module_contentholder, name="html"} and pull in the same content into the page.
    My question is this:
    Is there any reason to use includes over content holders or use content holders over includes?
    Note: I read where someone said includes do not work in ICE editor. I am not worried about that as the sites I will be using the includes on do not use the ICE editor.

    Includes right now are just in and do not render modules etc yet. Hopefully soon.
    But they are here because Developers and clients sharing the same snippet system for two opposites has and does cause many problems.
    - For a client they will have these created for them by their partner/developer to hold content they can go in and edit for a variety of things across a site.
    - A developer uses those same content holders for regions of markup in their layouts - Headers, Footers, Sidebars and so on.
    These should always be separate.
    Most things will break with all this modern stuff with ICE. There is a V4 in the works - VERY EARLY but Alexandru did a bit of a demo at the unconference.

  • Problems using AVI read/write example

    I would like to test some vision processing software I wrote by reading an AVI file rather than a live stream. I found the "AVI read/write example" mentioned on this forum and it sounds like exactly what i need, but I cannot get it to read my avi files. When I run the example read VI, it says "An exception occured with the external code called by a call library node". Doing further testing, I found one AVI on my computer that would work, all others crash the VI. Another odd behavior is that the "avi init read" subvi will return the wrong frame rate for some AVIs. I have tried both compressed and uncompressed AVIs all in RGB format. I have also tried different frame rates and encoding options for my AVI file with no luck. I am just a stud
    ent, so buying software is not an option for me.
    Has anyone had problems reading AVIs with this? Are there AVI encoding options that will make this VI work?

    Hello,
    I think the avi functions that you get are VFW based, it can not read
    any format of compression codec. But it should be able to read
    uncompressed AVI files. But anyway, if you can't get IMAQ-vision 7.0
    avi functions to try (I don't have, I don't know how it works), you
    can always get my IVision to try out. In IVision, there are two groups
    of avi functions. One is called "AVI functions", they are VFW based,
    so not always work for all kind compressed avi files, but I have
    another group called "Media files", the functions there work for all
    format compressed AVI files, including mpeg, asf, avi... you can
    access the frame image by using a callback vi (example included), seek
    the media position, change play rate, etc.
    Go to get a download at:

  • Problem with Downloaded Content Add-ons - PE9 Trial

    I have recently installed the PE9 trial on my Windows 7 PC. It is all working well except I have some questions about the Content Add-ons that can be downloaded from the following URL: http://www.adobe.com/special/premiereel/downloads/. I was prompted to download these within PE9.
    I note that for each of the 3 available content packages (i.e. 1, 2 and 3) , there is a HD version and what I assume to be a non-HD version. Is the idea that you need to download both, and use the HD version when working on HD projects, and the non-HD version for standard definition projects. Are they otherwise identical?
    When I download the non-HD versions, they appear in both my standard definition and HD projects. The HD version also appears in both project types but when I  view the available themes in PE9 the thumbnails for the HD project themes are all  greyed out (whereas the thumbnails for the non-HD themes display a sample picture). Also, when I click on the HD themes they don't play any sample audio, whereas the non-HD themes do. Has anyone got any ideas why this would be occurring and how I can fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times.
    Assuming that I am eventually able to get the HD thumbnails to display correctly, I am curious to know how you can tell whether a particular theme thumbnail is HD or non-HD given that they both appear in both standard definition and HD projects.
    This has got me quite confused, and any help would be appreciated.
    Given that every user that downloads the PE9 Trial is prompted to download the Content Add-ons, I really think that Adobe is doing themselves a disservice by not providing more clarity on the differences between the Content Add-ons. Just a brief explanation on the download site would be helpful.
    If anyone from Adobe is reading this, there is the following typo on the download site: "HD content1: Themed content includes HD content includes Birthday Party, Road Trip, Outdoor".

    Thanks for the advice Steve. Do you have any ideas as to why when I  view the available themes under the Disc Menus tab the thumbnails for the HD project themes are all  greyed out whereas the thumbnails for the non-HD themes display a sample picture. Also, when I click on the HD themes they don't play any sample audio, whereas the non-HD themes do.
    Is this normal, or could this be a problem with the trial version?
    I am really loving PE9, and I would really like to work this out.

  • Problem in file content conversion from XML to CSV

    Hi Experts,
    I am finding problem in file content conversion. I need to convert the following XML file into CSV file:
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    - <ns0:MT_CROSS_REF xmlns:ns0="urn:dabur:idoc2file:pos">
          <Update_type>2</Update_type>
          <PLU>00000000</PLU>
          <Cross_ref_PLU>7777777</Cross_ref_PLU>
          <Capture_PLU />
          <Package_size />
          <Package_desc />
      </ns0:MT_CROSS_REF>
    The output file data has to be like:
    2,00000000,7777777,,,,
    The problem I am facing is while specifying the content conversion parameters in communication channel i dont know what recordset structure i should mention as all the records are directly under root. If I mention recordset structure as "ns0:MT_CROSS_REF" and parameters as
    ns0:MT_CROSS_REF.fieldSeparator   ,
    ns0:MT_CROSS_REF.endSeparator    'nl'
    i get error in communication channel monitoring and no file is posted.
    Please help me as to what correct parameter i should mention in my case.
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    Yash

    Hi Chirag,
    I cannot change the xml file as it comes after mapping idoc to a message type. How can I add ROOT in the xml? My message type is like MT_CROSS_REF and it has those 6 fields as in the XML (Update_type, PLU etc.). I do the mapping of these fields from a IDOC and get the XML.
    I hope you got my point.
    Thanks,

  • Problem with File Content Conversion

    Hi All
    I am facing a problem with file content conversion.
    This is my sample file structure:
    Header_Record (Occurance - 1)
    Field1 in Header
    Field2 in Header
    Item(Occ-1 to n)
    Field3 in Item
    Field4 in Item
    <<ItemType>> (Structure in Item) (Occ - 0 to n)
    <<Field5>> in ItemType
    <<Field6>> in ItemType
    <<ItemTypeCategory>> (Structure in ItemType)(Occ - 0 to n)
    <<<<Field7>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
    <<<<Field8>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
    Footer_Record (Occurance-1)
    Field9
    Field10
    There is a key field 'Type' in all the above records with unique value in each record.
    Now, I defined Field content conversion as follows:
    Recordset Structure: Header_Record,1,Item, * , ItemType, * ,ItemTypeCategory, * ,Footer_Record,1
    Recordset Sequence: Ascending
    KeyField Name: Type
    Following are parameters defiled:
    Header_Record.Keyfieldvalue: 00
    Header_Record.fieldseperator: ,
    Header_Record.fieldnames: Field1,Field2
    Header_Record.endseperator: 'nl'
    Item.keyfieldvalue: 05
    item.fieldseperator: ,
    item.fieldfieldnames: field3,field4
    item.endseperator: 'nl'
    ItemType.keyfieldvalue: 10
    itemType.fieldseperator: ,
    itemType.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
    itemType.endseperator: 'nl'
    ItemTypecategory.keyfieldvalue: 15
    itemTypecategory.fieldseperator: ,

    Footer.keyfieldvalue: 20
    Footer.fieldseperator: ,
    Footer.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
    Footer.endseperator: 'nl'
    Now, i pass the following file:
    00,111
    05,222
    10,333
    15,444
    20,555
    What i expect out of my FCC is this (Sample output to show the hierarchy of field values):
    00,111
    05,222
    <<10,333>>
    <<<<15,444>>>>
    20,555
    But, I am getting this output (Hierarchy is missing. All the structures are in the same order without hierarchy):
    00,111
    05,222
    10,333
    15,444
    20,555
    Field values are being identified according to field content conversion, but, the hierarchy of the fields is missing.
    Can you please tell me how should i change my FCC config?
    Sorry for this long question.
    Many Thanks

    You will always get a flat structure from FCC. If you want hierarchichal strucuture, you have to create a target and map. You will get only like -

  • A script to force acrobat to play avi content with built in flash player instead of quicktime

    Hello, is there a script that would force acrobat to play embedded avi content with the built in flash player instead of the quicktime player?  first reason is that the built in quicktime player doesn't play the avi files anyway (for me at least); and second is that there are hundreds of sound clips in the pdf, and it is likely that i will have to revise the document and export again, so I can't manually change the properties of each sound clip to open with flash player.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
