What is the best way to publish to avi, using Captivate 4

I am trying to insert some Captivate simulations into another product for publication. Unfortunately, the swf files (my preferred option) do not play nicely with the other product. It has been recommended that I insert movies rather than swf files. I have been trying to publish via Captivate 4 to avi with unsatisfying results. If I use the default Indeo video format, I usually get an undefined error (even when resizing to all odd numbers or all even numbers). I can actually get an avi file to publish when using the Cinepak Codec; however, the video quality is rather poor. Also, I find that while the recorded narration files are okay, any background audio (typing and mouse clicks) get out of sync the longer the file runs.
I've seen some recommendations on installing XVid, but I tried that and could not figure out how to use it. If I install and reboot will it become an option with Captivate or will I need to use it in some other manner? (I'm not very techie about stuff like this).

Well...that's not encouraging. Maybe that sort of result is why publishing to such movie formats are no longer an option in Captivate
Of all those results, the audio sync I've seen before - it's a difficult process, apparently, to keep audio in sync when not publishing to a Flash format.
So, can you publish to FLV, then convert that to a different format? You may have better luck. There are many such converters out there. I've had luck with this for similar needs in the past:

OR, of course, if you can publish to FLV and just use that file format for integration into "another product for publication", that would seem optimal...
Let us know how it goes...

  • What is the best way to manage multiple ipods using the same itunes?

    Hi Everyone
    i am trying to manage three different ipods through the one Itunes, all with very different tastes, not sure if I am doing it the best or easiest way so does anybody have a simple solution on what you're supposed to do, to keep it all simple!
    Cheers

    If you have created a new Windows user account you need to log out and then log back in with your original user name. By default each Windows profile will have an independent iTunes library.
    If instead you managed to create a new library within the same profile. click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key, keep holding until asked to create or choose a library. Click Choose and navigte back to your original which should be at <User's Music>\iTunes.
    Your question as posed was:
    What is the best way to manage multiple iPods using the same iTunes {library}?
    in which case Selected Playlists is probably the best approach. Simply create a playlist for each device, Alice's iPod, Bob's iPhone etc. and sync the device with the appropriate list.

  • What's the best way to prevent KDE from using pulseaudio?

    What's the best way to prevent KDE from using pulseaudio if it is required to be installed for gnome?

    KDE system Settings > Mulitmedia  (in Hardware category) > Audio and Video options > Audio Playback
    the default device shown there is the pulseaudio device, move it to the bottom of the list
    Check all sub entries under Audio Playback to make sure they all have default at the bottom.
    This SHOULD make KDE sound subsystem use the real hardware directly through Alsa instead of pulseaudio.

  • What is the best way to deploy application that uses web services?

    Hi all,
    I'm having some problems figuring out the best way to deploy our app now that we've switched over to using web services.
    I'm fairly new to Java and web services. From what I understand, JNLP and WebStart are methods to deploy Java clients to users and not for creating war files and the like.
    Here's a little background:
    We have a large PowerBuilder/Oracle application. The db consists of over 500 tables and the client consists of several thousand PB components. A user creates "transactions" which contain a series of "sub-transactions" within. Most of the data is collected and stored locally in the client in a series of datastores. When the "finalize" happens, the records are validated and sent to the database.
    We are in the process of moving each of the subtransactions (currently in the PB client) into subPROCESSES on a java project. We are using the JAX-WS framework to develop the web services in Netbeans. These web services aren't much more than remote xml as the messaging technology. For writing data back to the database, we are using the Java Persistence API to function outside of an EJB container but will shortly be migrating to the Glassfish application server to use several of the EJB container frameworks including the EntityManager.
    We haven't attempted any type of deployment and are unsure of where to start. Any suggestions would be so helpful and appreciated!
    Thanks!

It is for launching rich client GUI based (AWT, Swing, SWT..) applications onto the end-user's desktop.
    There are some parts of JWS that might seem peripherally useful to the installation of a web-app., but it is really not a 'good fit'.

  • What is the best way to work with avi-files?

    Hallo all,
    I'm new to this forum so before asking my question I'd like to say some words about myself:
    I'm not a native english speaker, so please excuse language mistakes I'll possibly make and feel free to ask if I'll write something which you don't understand due to this fact.
    Half year ago I bought a HD Cam from Canon (Legria HF 200) which - in my opinion - has a good quality (good enough for my hobby films), and realized that cutting HD films on Windows would require a lot of expensive high end hardware. So I bought a MacBook and Final Cut Express - a decision I'm very happy with.
    After the first disastrous tries to make a small clip I bought Tom Wolsky's "Editorial Workshop for FCE" and now I'm more happy than I was before (because I've seen that you're posting here: thanks for the great book!)
    But now to my question:
    I have 9 old PAL DV tapes (containing family clips which I'd like to cut now) recorded with my old JVC, which has a FireWire port only. Unfortunately my MacBook doesn't have such, so I have to capture to DV avi using a PC with Pinnacle Studio.
    1.) The avi files are very large (between 13 - 18 GB). Because I'm not able to recapture due to the missing FireWire port I'd like to archive the material on an HDD. How should I convert the AVI to make it smaller without a great loss of quality but keeping the ability to use it in FCE (especially when reconnecting after creating the subclips from the original)
    2.) I'd like to keep the whole captured tape content as master clip and work with subclips from it. Yesterday I converted such an AVI to Film using QuickTime (the size didn't change noticable) and used the DV-Start/Stop detection. Unfortunately that didn't work correctly - some of the markers have been set in the middle of the shots instead as expected exactly between them. Should I do this on the original AVI file to make it work? And if, is it possible to reconnect the subclips created this way to a MOV created from the original AVI?
    3.) On the PC I get an xml file containing the correct position data of the subclips (as timecode, if I remember correctly). Is it possibly, to use this data in FCE to mark subclips? Maybe by putting it manually into an xml project file or something similar?
    4.) Or is there any other way to solve my problem?
    Sorry for the big post and thanks in advance,
    André

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,
    André

  • What is the best way to manage itunes content using an external hard drive connected to airport extreme?

      Just a little history on what I've already tried. I have my itunes folder on my external hard drive with an alias linking to my macbook pro. My hard drive is networked from airport extreme. Streaming content is not a problem. Syncing my iphone is the problem. I just get the pinwheel and a message stating sync unsuccessful because itunes was unable to connect. It takes a very long time to change any settings in itunes for mu phone.I have 8g of ram so that shouldn't be a problem. Any help would be appricated.

    The best solution would be two different types of backups, one local (in your own home) and one elsewhere. So, option 3 is the "best" solution.
    I, personally, use Crashplan to backup all of my computers because it's much more convenient than an external hard drive.
    With an external hard drive, you can either use Time Machine to create the historical/incremental backups OR you can create a bootable clone periodically using SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    I don't know of any way to make the machines mirror images of one another - as far as I know, the best you could do is transfer data from one to the other at time of purchase and then use something like DropBox to keep files in sync.

  • What is the best way to configure AE for use as a wireless bridge?

    I am using an AE to provide airtunes to my living room receiver as well as getting internet connection to my living room PC. The way I have it set up is that I am connecting to my existing wireless network (provided by a dlink dir-655) and then plug in the minijack for airtunes and plug in ethernet cable between AE and PC. I don't have a wireless card in the PC so that's why I connect via ethernet cable/AE.
    The problem is that the speed with the AE connected PC when it comes to the web, is quite slow. Many times Youtube just freezes and sometimes never catches back up.
    I've checked speeds with speedtest.net and my speeds fluctuate an extreme amount.
    Is there a way I should configure the AE better to act as a bridge for my ethernet/AE connected PC?
    BTW, I'm only about 25 feet from the dlink wireless router so connection quality should be fine. As both devices support N, I think things should work better!
    any suggestions?
    Thanks

    The newer 802.11n version of the AirPort Express offer an option to configure the base station as a wireless Ethernet bridge. Again, Apple calls this ProxySTA. You configure for a ProxySTA by having the base station join an existing wireless network AND by enabling the "Allow Ethernet Clients" option, located on the Wireless tab within the AirPort Utility.
    My point is that, as a ProxySTA, the Express will NOT extend the wireless range of your D-Link router. Instead, it WILL allow wired clients to connect to its Ethernet port for network/Internet access.
    In the manual setup settings, I see that there is a wireless setting to extend a wireless network and to participate in a WDS network. Would either of these two be better for what I'm trying to accomplish?
    In this scenario, no ... as a WDS would not work because very few non-Apple routers are WDS-compatible. Most likely, your D-Link is not as well ... so your current configuration is the only option for what you are trying to do.
    It seems that this current configuration should be rock solid, but perhaps I'm not using the proper setup.
    The #1 problem with a ProxySTA is that it does not provide the highest level of bandwidth performance. Typically, for the AXn, the best-to-worst performance would be the following configurations: 1) Wired-to-wireless, 2) Wireless-to-wireless (WDS), and 3) Wireless-to-wired (ProxySTA)
    As you can see, the first option would be the best, but it would require that you connect the AXn directly to the D-Link by Ethernet ... which, of course, would tie-up its only Ethernet port so that you could not connect the PC to it as you require.

  • What is the best way to publish a Captivate file to YouTube?

    I delivered both a SWF and f4v file to a client. They tried converting it into every file format supported by YouTube. But when it plays back, all of the audio and video are out of sync. Has anyone been able to find a solution to this problem? I'm on a tight deadline so any help would help.
    Thanks!!

    Hi there
    I believe that for YouTube you choose to publish as Media, then change the drop-down selector to choose F4V with Fixed frame rate.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I have some custom html5 tables, what's the best way to insert them in to Captivate 8?

    I have four html5 tables styled using css. They function perfectly in a browser - how do I get them into a Captivate slide?

    Hey, I think I’ve managed to crack it. So, I compressed my .html files to zip files. The HTML5 animation feature allows you to import zip files. So I imported the zip files into a Captivate slide and published the project to my desktop. On viewing it worked perfectly – maintaining all CSS. Perfect.
    Thanks for the help,

  • What is the best way to deploy an applet using iWeb

    I have an applet with a very standard applet tag.
    I don't see any way to deploy that directly.
    So instead, I just create an html snippet widget, and paste in the applet tag.
    Very simple standard stuff
    <applet codebase="xx" code="xx.class" etc>
    <parameter ...>
    <parameter ...>
    etc
    </applet>
    iWeb has not seen my applet yet, so it is just a bunch of html code.
    The problem is that it is hanging forever.
    Apparently it is throwing some kind of exception.
    Give it a try and you will see.
    Whatever shall I do to get my applet deployed?
    Thanks, Victor

  • What's the Best Way to Learn Java for Use in LiveCycle?

    Clearly knowing Java scripting would be a boon for flexibility, but I know nothing of Java. Is there an easy dummies manual for using it with LiveCycle?
    I have been relying alot on FormCalc to get things done so far.
    Thanks.

    A very small note. You may see this as being picky, but I hope it will
    help you find the infomation you seek more accurately.
    You are not using Java. Java is a different language - so Googling for
    Java information will just leave you lost. You are using a language
    called JavaScript, always named in full.
    Now, the really confusing thing is that JavaScript in a browser,
    JavaScript in Acrobat and JavaScript in LiveCycle Designer (again,
    sorry, note the full name: there are many other LiveCycle products)
    are all different.
    A key thing is to have the JavaScript Reference. This is not good for
    learning from but it's like having a dictionary: you can't learn a
    language from it, but you will always need to look things up. This
    forum can help send you in the right direction into the documentation.
