Hey,

Has anyone attempted to implement a captivate video into Flash Media Server (specifically an aggregated Captivate video in Flash Streaming Server).

Please let me know if you've run into any problems, if this works, or if you have any other information.

Thanks!

    Can you elaborate what do you mean by Aggregated Captivate Video - not many guys working on FMS would have great knowledge of Captivate and its terminologies.

    So an Aggregated Captivate Video is basically a compilation of several other Captivate Videos. To see what I mean, open up Captivate

    1. go to File --> New Project-->Aggregator Project.
    2. Choose the .swf files of published projects that you want to run together as a single video (aggregated .swf).
    3. Then, publish the Aggregator Video and you will generate a .swf file that plays all the ones you selected previously.

    So basically I am worried that Flash Media Server won't work because the main video file (the aggregated .swf) uses the component .swf files to play.

    Any thoughts?

    Since its a .swf - whether its single swf or has component swfs - it won't play at all. FMS serves only FLV & MP4 or F4V files for RTMP and F4F for Http Streaming. It does not stream .swf files.
