    Jim, My account is hosted through Clarix, but I assume it works the same as anyone's account. I upload FLV video files quite a bit for use in our "Web Sessions" as I call them. The Adobe servers will then stream the video from their servers, not progressive download as I understand it. I take it VOD means video on demand and in theory you should be talking about the very same thing. So to stream from a stream so to speak will not work if I understand these servers correctly.

    I do look forward to it accepting F4V files, the newer codec.

    Is the a procedure you outline below documented somewhere?

    Jim,

    I am not sure exactly which resource helped me with this, as I sort of look everywhere. But I have at least two suggestions:

    The on line seminars and tutorials on Adobe like: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/seminars.html

    I picked up a lot from a training piece on Lynda.com also: http://www.lynda.com/home/ViewCourses.aspx?lpk0=225

    But really if you open a share pod and choose to select something from your computer, point it to your video FLV file. It will upload it and make it available for your meeting.

    I create different meeting layouts based on what content I am delivering. So in this case I make a special "layout" for each part of the session. In this case a layout called video1 might be a tab in my layouts. One click and the meeting layout changes to that scheme. Another click and I am back to the PowerPoint presentation.

    I hope this helps,

    Rick
