Question

Captivate and a webm file path

Hey there!

My company is hoping to switch from Storyline to Captivate, but I'm having a difficult time pleading the case as I can't get our video files to pull on our LMS or machines.

We upload our video files to our POS machines in .webm, and in storyline we have a little bit of .html that we place as a webobjects and it works perfectly. However, anytime I try to do this in Captivate I only get sound- no video.. or sometimes I get nothing at all!

Anyone have any advice?

HTML:

"<html><head>

   <title></title>

</head>

<body>

<video src="file:///home/isp/videos/Training/Journeys_07CoreValues01V02.webm" width=100% height=100% controls autoplay />

</body></html>"

    I was just dealing with Captivate not generating Webm files. The hearing audio an no video sounds like an HTML5 video files, which requires other HTML5 elements.  You might need to generate a Single File Generation version.  I think.

    Are you previewing within Captivate or publishing to a web server and trying to view?

    I've been publishing it and uploading to our LMS and trying to load from there.

    Are you talking about videos integrated in Captivate, or are you talking about a published Captivate file? Sorry, I often have terminology problems. If it s a published Captivate file, did you publish to HTML5 or to SWF?
