Question

Embedded MP4 Causing Upload Problems to LMS

This one is confounding me and my team.

We've recently encountered a problem where our SCORM project won't upload to our LMS, and we're 99.9% sure that the culprit is an MP4 that we've embedded onto a slide.

I say 99.9% sure because here's what we've encountered...

  • Other Captivate SCORM files that do not include MP4s are uploading to our LMS with no problem.
  • Other MP4 files (for example, ones created in Camtasia) are also uploading to our LMS with no problem.
  • We've done this in the past with Captivate, and it's worked with no problem. It's probably been about 6 months since we tried it, but it worked fine.

I suppose it could be something else, but considering that other Captivate SCORM projects as well as SCORM mp4s are4 working, I'm lead to believe that the MP4 is the issue.

Try making sure there are no spaces in filenames for your videos and any other assets.

Two questions:

  • Does that module successfully upload if you remove the MP4 and then test upload?
  • Is it possible that your LMS has a file upload limit that is being breached because of the size of your MP4? (Check with your LMS Admin about the maximum allowed upload size.)

Yes, it does.

Is it possible that your LMS has a file upload limit that is being breached because of the size of your MP4? (Check with your LMS Admin about the maximum allowed upload size.)

Yes, the LMS does have an upload limit, but the module is nowhere near the limit.

Can you try to recode the MP4 file with the Adobe Media Encoder which ships with Captivate. Encode to H264.

Yes, we have done this.
