Streaming video into HTML5 content

Question

Hi
I just wanted to check that it is possible to stream (rather than progressively download) video into captivate HTML5 output. I know this can be done when outputting to to SWF but my client wants to go HTML5 only and the video content has to hosted off the LMS
I quote
.... media files must be externalized, e.g., separate zip and be either a) hosted by and accessed from the vendor site (preference) or b) hosted on an internal media site (secondary).
Any help/thoughts much appreciated!

Answer 1

Try the option menu Video/Insert Video/Event Video, off course as quoted on the window itself the video must be on a media streaming.
If doesnt work, one time I have to use a streaming video too, I use the youtube widget and uploaded my videos to youtube so youtube will handle all streaming (the best choice for me).
In another project I needed an small intro video, so I used JS (using methods like listeners and jquery) to
create a video element with a preloader:
var videoIntroElement = document.createElement("video");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("id", "videoIntroElement");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("autoplay", "true");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("preload", "auto");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("width", "100%");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("height", "100%");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("type", "video/mp4");
var videoIntroElementIconLoading = document.createElement("img");  document.getElementById("div_Slide").appendChild(videoIntroElementIconLoading) ;
$(videoIntroElement).bind("ended", function() {
     startCourse();
That´s it you have a lot of options.
