I have an old version of Captivate (not by choice) and cannot control how files publish files.  User guides all show an option for HTML5 or flash in preferences.  I also tried publish on the toolbar.  The only option was publish to computer but again, there were no options.  I was able to play it in Windows Media Player.  could not file save as or use any other options to change file type.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

    Hi Lilybiri.

    Thank you for the quick reply!  As it turns out, publishing to HTML5 is an option for most projects but not for a cpvc file.

    You didn't mention that it was a cpvc-file! A cpvc-file is a video recording tool it is normal that you can only publish to a Video format.  However you can insert a cpvc on a slide in a cptx file, which can be published to HTML5. That makes only sense if you have static content slides with interactivity, not for a passive video.

    If you publish a cpvc to mp4 you can insert it also in a cptx project as 'Interactive Video' and add overlay content and KC-slides. Watch this example, which is made from a Video Demo:

    I don't have CP8 aymore, but if my memory is correct, it had th eoption to publish to HTML5, although the result is not as good as in more recent versions. I Use the big button 'Publish', to Computer. It should be something like:

    Look at the setup above: in the first dropdown list choose HTML5/SWF.

    Under the firelds make sure that HTML5 is selected. I always publish with Rescalalbel HTML content checked, but you can uncheck it if you wish a fixxed resolution.

    If you were able to play in Media Player, you had chose to publish to  Video in the first dropdown list, which results in a MP4 file.
